Gerry Posted September 24 Report Posted September 24 There's a listing for an interesting shaped naginata with a tempered upper edge...a moroha naginata? Has anyone seen anything like this before? https://www.jauce.com/auction/k1153310910 4 Quote
Grey Doffin Posted September 24 Report Posted September 24 Maybe a standard Shinto naginata with a broken kissaki and reshaped. I believe this is called Satsuma-age when it is done to a sword. Grey 2 Quote
Tensho Posted September 25 Report Posted September 25 I agree with Grey. The pictures make it appear larger and stranger than what it is. But if you "draw-in" the missing kissaki everything looks correct. Still interesting and I kinda like it. 1 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted September 25 Report Posted September 25 To decide if this is a SURIAGE 'victim', one would have to see the blade from close, I think. Looking at the course of the SHINOGI, I am not so sure. Perhaps original and inspired by a Chinese lance? 1 1 Quote
sabiji Posted September 25 Report Posted September 25 I agree with Rokujuro, Satsuma-age would not explain the course of the Shinogi. Quote
Stefan Posted September 25 Report Posted September 25 Just an chinese inspired shape. Suriage in the kissaki area would have destroyed the kaeri of the boshi., but it is there and it runs along the mune for an long term. Quote
