CAS Hanwei Yari Rattan Wrap Polearm

CAS Hanwei Yari Rattan Wrap Polearm Review



CAS Hanwei Yari Rattan Wrap Polearm Feature

  • High-carbon steel blade
  • Great addition for those who train in sojutsu.
  • Genuine Rattan wrap
  • Made by Hanwei.
The Yari was an essential battlefield weapon of the Samurai in feudal Japan and took great skill to use and maneuver, due to its length and size. This piece is modeled after the su-yari or “straight-spear” design. The blade is forged in T-10 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..It also features a rattan wrapped section at the upper grip, making this a visually stunning piece.
