Hanwei Yari, Rattan Wrap Japanese Spear

While the sword and bow were the quintessential Samurai weapons, it was actually the Yari (spear) that decided the fate of most battles in Feudal Japan. Fast, with incredible reach, it could puncture armor and pierce the internal organs with ease. This piece is modeled after the su-yari or “straight-spear” design. The blade from Hanwei is forged in T10 high-carbon steel and is triangulated and double-edged with a deep fuller on the flat side of the blade. Differential tempering results in a clear hamon on each edge. The tangs are long to absorb the shock of a blow. The shaft (ebu) is finished in a deep black lacquer and has a flattened side at the bottom section for blade orientation. The one-piece staff construction reinforces the durability of the spear. This Yari also features a rattan wrapped section at the upper grip, making this a visually stunning piece.
