estcrh Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 I saved this image some time in the past and just found it again while cleaning up some files, I have never seen this yari shape before and was wondering what this particular shape would be called. It looks like a combination of kikuchi yari and jumonji yari. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 A first for me too. It's not a later conversion? Quote
estcrh Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Posted August 24, 2012 Piers, it could be modern or a made up one etc, I was hoping some one here might have seen another one. Quote
Geraint Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 Would love to say I had one but... illustrated in R and P Knutsen, Fig 29, "An unusual tsukushi - uekama - jumonji- yari. Another in Bottomely and Hopson, page 148. Not a modern make up or a later conversion but a nice piece. Cheers Quote
Gilles Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 First time I see such a shape. But I've noticed that the imagination of the Japanese swordsmiths, especially concerning yari is without limit. :D Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 If it wasn't documented, I would have guessed that it was a Photoshop blade.... Piers, are you back? Ken Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 Piers, are you back?Ken Back, yes, in the old country... but not back in Japan! :lol: Quote
