Everything you never wanted to know about naginatas and were afraid someone might tell you...

Okay, I’ll take pity on you and not bore you to tears with facts and anecdotes regarding the naginata. Because I am going to subject you to pointless omake instead! MUAhaHAhaaaa You fools! You’ve fallen straight into my fiendish plot

Not that you really need context for this, but in case you really want some this is a detail of the naginata from the FF lineup I did recently

#1 omake

this is just a detail of the material I used on the tsuba, but you guys go for that sorta thing...

  the problem is I want to use that material all the time, but I’m afraid of running it into the ground…
