CAS Hanwei Kama

Having its origins in the rice sickle and long one of the weapons of the farmer warriors of the Ryukyu Archipelago, the Kama has become an important item of equipment for modern students of Okinawan Kobudo. The CAS Hanwei kama are pieces of superior quality, having hand-forged T10 high-carbon steel blades with an authentic temper line (hamon). The handles and blade covers are of oak with blackened brass detailing. As with the originals, the unique wedge-shaped blade section requires that the Kama be right & left handed.

A seperate kama ball allows conversion to Kusari-gama. When attached by a length of chain (not supplied) to the Kama, the weapon becomes capable of Kusari-Gama whereby an opponent's weapon can be entangled by the chain and rendered harmless.
