1 hard to find antique Japanese katakama yari. This is a rare blade spear point shape. This signed kamayari would make an important addition to any collection.
The Kama yari differs from the jumanji yari in that it has one blade that is shorter than the other. The temper line is visible. This yari is signed 'Motohisa'. The nakago is ubu (full original length/not cut down).
The blade measures 11 7/16" in length by 5 3/4" wide. This yari measures 27 7/16" overall.
We have more photos--including lots of close-ups of this rare yari. Just email info@stcroixblades.com to request them.
No forging flaws are visible in the blade. There is some oxidation, and some occasional light pitting. The saya is original, though it has been painted.
