Your guess is as good as mine :D :lol:

No idea...but it is interesting. It's one for the guys who want a one-of-a-kind piece I guess.

it came out of a sword cane

 

I have read on Richard Stein's "THE Japanese SWORD GUIDE" website that sword canes have been of inferior quality and that they were thin. This one seems really odd...

 

Regards :-)

There are exceptions to every rule, I suppose. I had read that they were often of inferior quality... that doesn't mean that a few custom pieces weren't brilliant.

Maybe a Samurai so wanted a ken but couldn't afford/find a smith to make one that he had his yari mounthed as a sword. Or someone didn't need a spear anymore (peace time?) but wanted to do something with his "family spear"....... :D

Or some Samurai just wanted an extremely long Yari to use against cavalry....

 

personally i do not believe it is a yari converted into anything, i believe it is one of the few longer Yari's still in existence....

 

might also be from a shrine....
