- Held in the same esteem as the daisho, the naginata is the samurai's preferred polearm. With a blade forged similarly to a wakizashi, expertly balanced, and offering superior reach, it is sometimes even favored over a samurai's own katana. For such a noble weapon to be in the hands of a commoner is strictly forbidden.
