Naginata

The is a type of polearm bladed weapon found as a Legendary Loot item in the world, commonly in the Mines or the Camps Region. This weapon is a direct recreation of a real Japanese Naginata (薙刀). A Naginata consists of a wooden or metal pole with a curved single-edged blade on the end; it is similar to the Chinese Guan Dao or the European Glaive. Similar to the Katana, Naginata often have a round handguard (tsuba) between the blade and shaft, when mounted in a koshirae. The 30 cm to 60 cm long naginata blade is forged in the same manner as traditional Japanese swords. The blade has a long tang (nakago) which is inserted in the shaft.

Obtaining
are primarily found in the Chests within the Camps, though they may within Chests on Cave Structures in the Mines, as well as in various Chests found in the Overworld.

Though the existing Naginata cannot be crafted, a Naginata Blade can be crafted through the process of Mould Crafting.

Use
Apart from acting as a weapon used to attack an opponent, there is a way to use the weapon most effectively. The Naginata is a pole arm, meaning using slicing as well as stabbing motions from afar against an opponent are the most effective way of attacking. The Naginata is good at defending when the user holds the opponent off at a distance with the weapon.
