Japanese Naginata Blade

The famous Japanese Naginata polearm weapon is very similar in design to the Guandao Chinese polearm or European Glaive weapon. It’s relatively lightweight considering its long polearm status, and makes a strong and reliable, ranged, open-field cutting and slashing weapon. They are also highly effective against cavalry and are a true open-field dominator, over any other melee combatant.

Save on the cost of a fully completed Naginata weapon, and build something truly unique and personal.
