The texture of jitetsu is a point worthy of appreciation. Especially conspisious chikei appeals us strongly.
Originally this blade was a very long naginata, a kind of halberd that was one of several similar shapes used attached to a long pole.
It is also called a polearm.
The blad has passed more than 700 years so there are small kizu and flow but not serious.
