Sōjutsu Hoko Yari Straight Japanese Qiang Spear Hand Forged 1095 High Carbon Steel Blade

This functional yari spear is made from 1095 high carbon steel with a stainless steel handle. The yari was one of the earliest weapons used by Japanese warriors. In early Japanese history the yari was a common weapon on the battlefield, even used more often than the samurai sword until the Edo period when close quarter combat became more prevalent. Infantry units would advance in a tight formation with spears in hand and raise a wall of blades to stop the advance of enemy infantry while keeping a safe distance. Yari techniques focus on thrusting and stabbing, but combine slashing and striking in some situations. Each spear is fully handmade from the ground up, no two spears will be exactly alike.
