CAS Hanwei SHxxxx Yari Yari
The Yari was an essential battlefield weapon of the Samurai and took great skill to use and maneuver due to its length and size. The blade is forged in T-10 high-carbon steel and is triangulated and double-edged with a deep fuller on the flat side of the blade. Differential tempering results in a clear hamon on each edge. The tangs are long to absorb the shock of a blow and the one-piece staff construction reinforces the durability of the spear.
The yari is modeled after the su-yari or ""straight-spear"" design. The shafts (ebu) are finished in a deep black lacquer and have a flattened side at the bottom section for blade orientation. The fittings (koshirae) follow distinctive traditional designs. The Yari features a long (16-3/4"") blade.The Yari is provided with black lacquered sheath (saya).
