TURN AROUND: Ordered3/16, shipped 3/20, arrived 3/26.
WORKMANSHIP: well shaped, symmetrical, straight, sanded to 400 grit. PHA logo at the base of the blade. one small area mid-handle over carved/cut/sanded, dent about 1/4 inch.
WOOD QUALITY: small knot in mid-handle, dense, straight tight grain. no warping so far.
SIZE WEIGHT: 7'/84", 3.1lb about 1400g/1.4kg. "red-oak standard naginata" is 850g /1.89lbs.
IMPRESSION: hefty. can/t use arms to manipulate. Must use body to have full control, when done well, feels like feather as the naginata is well balanced. If you are used to whipping around lighter weight naginata using your arms, think well before purchasing this. like the fact it has no coating on it. slips through the hands very nicely, yet easy to feel the shift in balance point while moving. Egg shaped handle makes it easy to index the edge.
