Caracal Posted March 24, 2020 Report Posted March 24, 2020 Could this be a Hoko Yari or some form of Jumonji Yjari / Magari Yari, grateful if anyone knows where to look for answers. Robert ロバート アンガー Quote
Fuuten Posted March 24, 2020 Report Posted March 24, 2020 For what it's worth; I checked out a book (Nihon no Mei Yari Ten), about yari I have laying around but this type isn't in it. Thank you for sharing. It looks like for instance a fireman's hook, a sort of tool more than a weapon. Quote
John A Stuart Posted March 24, 2020 Report Posted March 24, 2020 Looks more like a type of Chinese Ji (Gik) 戟, there are a few variations of double pointed spears This would be pronounced Hoko in Japanese, although I don't think Japanese made. John Quote
DirkO Posted March 24, 2020 Report Posted March 24, 2020 It's called a Gekken or Getsuken - a half moon shaped spear blade Quote
Caracal Posted March 25, 2020 Author Report Posted March 25, 2020 Hii All Can it be a Tsuki Nari Yari? Tsuki Nari Yarin has had different shapes, from a simple double-edged and flat blade, to a triangular cross ... What time period can it be........ Robert ロバート アンガー Quote
Lee Bray Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 From the exhaustive "Nihonto swords of Japan: A visual Glossary", it is called a Tsukikama yari. Edit - a quick google brought this up - http://gunbai-militaryhistory.blogspot.com/2018/01/hoko-early-Japanese-spears.html Quote
