Unusual fukuro yari.

I have never seen this shape of fukuro yari before, it looks like a kikuchi fukuro yari, does anyone know the correct name for this?

In Japanese Spears by Knutsen it's called just as you described, fukuro kikuchi yari.

Thanks Eric:

Great link to yari and naginata. I think that the nakago of the naginata broke and the piece to allow attaching to a pole was welded on. For those who want to see the naginata it is at the bottom of the page.

Barry,

If you mean the Chikushi naginata, then no..I think it was made that way.

It certainly looks similar! It seems to be a strange way to make a naginata. I noted the blade on Aoi Arts before Ken started his thread on it. If a naginata had a broken tang and one wanted to save the blade for use as a pole arm what options are available? It seems that adding a piece to fit a pole is one. Welding on a new tang is another.

Brian your right, I did not know the term for this type, here is an actual fukuro naginata.
