    Naginata, yari, nunti, & chiang.


    Naginata, remade from old blade about 300 years old.
    Yari, all I added was leather wrap.
    Nunti and chiang I made from retail parts only 40 years ago.

    Katana, wakizashi, & tanto.


    Katana and wakizashi blades are perhaps 350-400 years old; I mounted them in 40 year-old furniture.
    Tanto is recent production.
