Naginata

World of Darkness - Armory

At the end of this polearm is a two-foot curved blade. This weapon, favored by samurai and several other warrior classes of old Japan, is a relatively light and well-balanced item. The lower weight and higher balance of the naginata allows it to be used with a greater grace than other polearms. In this case, the Strength requirement is one less than is suggested by the item’s Size. Two-handed, the weapon requires a Strength of 3, and a Strength of 4 is necessary to use the naginata in a single hand.
Other versions of the naginata include the glaive, guisarme, bill and fauchard.
