I am pretty sure when they refer to it as a “naginata/nagamaki nioshi” it has been refitted from its original design to fit down to wakizashi or katana type fittings.
Originally yes, but there people who liked the look and would have their swords made in this style. Officially I believe the antiques are classified the same whether they were cut down or its their original sugata.
Had mine about 2 months now. Having a blast cutting & learning new techniques !
I like it. Awsome blade profile
Placed some orders through swordis a few weeks back for some swords. Very excited to get from you guys. You guys do really good work on the handle.
