Quick- say naginata three times fast! Hard, right? What's harder? Probably making your very own naginata. Well, if you were a Japanese foot-soldier or Samurai, making one of these pole arm weapons would have been par for the course. The Naginata was a single-edged blade that sat atop a pole made of wood or metal. It was developed  in the Kamakura period and continued to be used for...well, forever! The history of the naginata is especially cool because it was a common weapon for women soldiers as well. If you're building a Samurai, this custom LEGO weapon is a must! It is one of our longest weapons, and offers your warriors an extra line of defense in those vicious minifig battles.
