Talk:Nagamaki

Contradiction
This says the naginata can be traced back to the BCs, but the article on the naginata says the first known reference was in 712.

Oda Nobunaga
"The nagamaki is considered the favored weapon of General Oda Nobunaga." By who? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.4.178.19 (talk) 06:20, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Length?
I find the 2-4' blade+ 2-4' handle highly unrealistic. First, it's rare to see a blade over 30", let alone 4'. Clearly not a nagamaki: http://www.mtholyoke.edu/org/karate/images/Nagamaki-1.JPG Clearly nagamaki: http://www.swordforum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5793&d=1039964816 Theblindsage (talk) 09:06, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Pole weapon?
Why is this listed as a pole weapon? The closest European equivalent, the Swiss/German Zweihänder is not. Looking around online, I've seen simple spears called nagamaki and, as has been pointed out, naginata. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.72.244.157 (talk) 15:44, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

 * The slightly more similar falx and Rhomphaia are referred to in their articles as 'polearms' though.122.61.157.138 (talk) 01:01, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Wrong information
Some of the information in this article is wrong one example being the wakizashi being of set lengths that is entirely false the wakizashi was usually always made to match the height of the user length of their katana or both they are actually known for being of different lengths whoever wrote this is clearly confused with the much earlier kodachi similar in being essentially a shorter version of other carried swords but the kodachi was usually always one specific size. Also odachi and nodchi are both the same weapon odachi being its general name and nodachi putting the specific usage before its name odachi - big tachi great sword whichever of the terms you want to use and nodachi - field big sword basically dictating it's use in its name just like the completely fictional ninjato 92.25.12.131 (talk) 00:54, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
