Steel Bladed Kama
These Steel Bladed Kamas feature 18" long handles that are crafted from quality natural hardwood. The black steel blades are unsharpened and measure 6-1/4" each. Each kama weighs 13 ozs. Sold in pairs.
History: Originally used by farmers to cut rice and grass, the Kama was developed by Okinawan commoners as a defensive weapon that was used against sword and Bo attacks, often attaching a chain to the base for greater reach.
Shaped like a sickle with a half-moon shaped blade and wooden handle, the Kama could be used to trap an opponent's weapon, or for striking an arm or leg.
Today the kama is most commonly used in kata (forms) competition and demonstrations. The forms include circular movements which improve blocking and countering techniques.
Disclaimer:
All weapons are for demonstration or decorative purposes only. If used for demonstration, expert care and supervision should be exercised.
