Naginata 3
« on: May 26, 2011, 04:13:50 »
As Cheng said, the gauntlet has been thrown. ;)

It is a machete that has been sanded down to fit a drill hole in a Roman pilum.
Were I to fix this up a bit more, I would sand it to slide down all the way into the hole,
But I think it is also because I did not drill far enough.

A little late to the game, but I came in swinging what I got! :P
I hope you all like it. :wave:

Nice prototype, WoT, but I agree with you, it needs to be further down the handle.

Dear Gordon, WoT was in a hurry to pip my (and Cowabounga's) Naginata(s)  ;)

WoT, you cut my Naginata 2 (lived for only 24 hours) in a 'drawing' slash...  ;D
....hai, hai...it does look very naginata, really!! the proportion looks right...the pole does not have to be any longer(but no cutting Pilums for me no cutting Pilums for me no cutting Pilums for me no cutting Pilums for me no cutting Pilums for me no cutting Pilums for me no cutting Pilums for me :P )

Nice work WoT. I'm not sure about keeping the hand guard of the machete. I think it makes double use with the triangular end of the pilum. Just aesthetics.
Guys, did you notice how cheng has started twaddling? (See his last posts) Or is it some self persuasion technique?  ;D
Cheers,
Arnaud

Thanks guys. :)

Cheng, I still think your Naginata looks better,
It is smoother. 8-)
I have 10 or so pilums to spare though... from some other purchase. :eh?:
If you want I could send you some. ;)

Arnaud, :lol:
I actually like the machete handle being there.
I might change my mind when I squish it down a bit...
But for now I think I'll keep it. :wave:

Nice prototype WoT! You could always attach some type of ribbon/streamer/fire hose section to cover the machete's exposed area to make it look more finished if you don't want to modify it anymore.

I was thinking the same think Bill,
I will look into it,
But I did modify it so it sits down more.

hey Arnaud, I agree your using of the flower for the 'handguard' was a good choice
BUT
twaddling?

eh?  ??? please do correct me on the spot  :P or I'll be heading in the wrong direction, all alone...like a wandering samurai  ;D
