Honshu Naginata Japanese Polearm Sword & Sheath | Samurai & Foot Soldier Self Defense Weapon | 18" Blade Attached to Long Shaft | Balanced & Weighted for Martial Arts Training - 67" Overall Length

First class item. Finally sharpened edge. Great naginata for the cost. Absolutely recommended and thank you very much. Nicely done.

This is a bit heavier than the original naginata, so training with it is a bit difficult at first. I do like the other modifications to make it easier to grip. At six foot three,this is a bit short. It does add nicely to my collection of edged weapons.

This is an excellent training tool. Granted it is not for the feint of heart and it is solidly built and rather heavy. I use it for Krabi Krabong training as a "Ngow" and it is challenging. Worth the cost.

It's amazing!

The size of this Naginata is a foot shorter than it's supposed to be. This could be alleviated by the manufacture by taking out the blade and having the customer attach the blade themselves. Now they can use the free foot-long length to add more shaft. The shaft is also circular rather than shaped like an oval, so its hard to find the edge alignment. You really have to aim your cuts with this thing. The weight isn't so bad, but it is not at all accurate. The injection mold shaft is super light while the stainless steel blade is very heavy, making it feel clunky rather than playful in the hands. You're not going to practice accurately with this thing. The futuristic look is also a bit of a pain. The swell grip at the end of the grip gets in the way of sliding your hand for more guided cuts. This makes the small shaft all so much more noticeable It comes sharp oddly well. Better than their katana. Also unlike their Katana: there is no rattle at all in the handle. And the stainless steel is actually pretty good. No idea what kind of stainless steel it is, but it works. But it has developed a streak one one side, ironically staining, because of a root-beer bottle cut. Overall I am disappointed in the general market for not. Being able to supply a more accurate naginata. This is so close, but the side and shape of the shaft is too small and awkward to even superficially feel like a naginata.

This is the 14th weapon I have bought from Honshu I have been thrilled with every single one. I have been looking for a nice quality naginata for several years and I could not be happier with this it is everything I could have hoped for and more beautifully designed razor-sharp although I expected nothing less from Honshu

Feels good to, sharp and it will kill

Great price sturdiness very good craftsmanship
