A couple of photos from one of my clients from way back. I made two of these in the late 90′s or early 2000′s for Todd Taganashi. He was kind enough to share these photos with me. Back when I made this blade it was too expensive to do good photography and I lost the bad photos that I took of this blade. This was an ambitious project. The Naginata has a mirror polish, guard, and full micarta scales. I’m happy to see that it held up for all of these years. Thanks for sharing your photos Todd.
I’m the chief instructor and inheritor of Master Taganashi’s martial arts system. I just wanted to find out who Todd Taganashi is. I think he may be falsely portraying himself and would like to get in touch with him. If you can relay this message, I would appreciate it.
