Matthew Jensen Posted August 13, 2017 Report Posted August 13, 2017 I was wondering if there are any historic examples of a blade using both naginata-hi and futasuji-bi? If you know of any examples can you provide a link to a photo? I ask because a short while ago I was sent a review sample from a Chinese production company. They offer both styles of hi and asked them to combine them on one blade. Initially I did it because I wanted to examine how they produce the two different styles but in the back of my mind, I thought I had seen it on a few antiques in the past. I went to have a look today and I am unable to find a single example. I have included a photo of the mass production sword so you can get an idea of what I am asking. I know the "everything" is far from perfect and it would be helpful to find a better example to explain why. Thanks for your help. Quote
