Krystian Posted September 19, 2018 Report Posted September 19, 2018 Hello, I have this peculiar shaped blade and wonder what exactly is it. A tanto or yari? Blade is 18 cm. Mune is 4,5 mm near habaki and 9,5 in the thickest place. Thank you in advance for all comment. Best Regards, Krystian Quote
SAS Posted September 19, 2018 Report Posted September 19, 2018 Appears to be a yari, but I am unable to name the style as I admire yari but have not studied them very well. Nice piece! Quote

Krystian Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Posted September 19, 2018 Thank you Brian:) Even the first kanji is similar to the one it other examples. Quote
hoovesandswords Posted September 22, 2018 Report Posted September 22, 2018 Just popping in to say that these are quite fascinating to look at! I never even knew they existed. Quote
