	Nagamaki
		Bare nagamaki blades are of katana-length blades with typical katana-size tang (7–10 inches).
		However there are example of nagamaki with rather long nakago (tang), which could be fitted with a longer staff for a haft and effectively function as a naginata.
		While nagamaki means "long wrap" they have been found with no ito (cord) at all, which is very much like a long tachi handle.

		The nagamaki was developed in the middle of the Muromachi period.
		Nagamaki found without hilt wrap usually had at least metal collars around the hilt where the tang is. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Japanese unit.
		The nagamaki (長巻 "long wrapping") is a derivative of the naginata (長刀; "long sword") with a longer blade (from 70 to 80 centimeters, similar to that of a katana) which is mounted on a shorter pole (100 to 120 centimeters).

	Nagamaki
		A nagamaki ("long wrapping") was a Japanese weapon popular between the 12th and 14th centuries.
		Truth be told, rather than a pole arm the nagamaki is similar in construction to a large sword such as the nodachi or zanbato.
		While Oda Nobunaga was reported to equip his front line with nagamaki, in time it became less popular than the naginata.

	nagamaki@Everything2.com
		The overall length of a nagamaki will be the same as the overall length of a naginata for a specific person, only the ratio of blade to pole is altered.
		As for the name, the much longer shaft on a naginata is never wrapped, whereas a nagamaki has wrapping on the grip (tsuka ito), like a sword.
		Nagamaki is not to be confused with negimaki (beef wrapped around scallions grilled with teriyaki sauce).

		The nagamaki was developed in the middle of the Muromachi period.
		Unlike wakizashi, tantō, and katana, which have had history of strict measurements regarding the nagasa, and even the tsuka in some cases; the nagamaki varied in nagasa, nakago length (tang), kissaki style, et cetera.
		Nagamaki is also a steak dish served in asian cuisine.

		Since blades can be removed from their original shafts often times nagamaki blades are found remounted as katana or wakizashi.
		Truth be told, rather than a pole arm the nagamaki is similar in construction to a large sword such as the nodachi or chinese zan ma dao.
		While Oda Nobunaga (1534-1582) was reported to equip his front line with nagamaki, in time it became less popular than the naginata.

	Nagamaki - Sword Forum International
		In the Edo period the Naginata became the preferred weapon of women, and for instance the female guards of the Ôoku, the "harem" of the Shôgun, were armed with Naginata.
		Nagamaki is a term that, strictly speaking, only applies to a special style of mounting a Naginata.
		Either the nagamaki is a really obscure weapon, or there has been little interest in them among collectors, martial artists and historians (or both).

		Nagamaki, the cure to this is a free market economy with no government interaction regarding a national energy or environmental policies.
		Nagamaki, people around here aren't likely to be moved by characterizations of humans as acting primarily according to "cunning insticts".
		So, Nagamaki, what you are saying is that these 'bushmen', the original and purest humans (allegedly), were also the first to soil their own nest.

	Nagamaki - Learning the new weapon. [Archive] - AikiWeb Aikido Forums
		I can find lots of information on the naginata, but the nagamaki turns up barely any results when i search for it.
		Amdur makes the point that there is no general agreement on what exactly a nagamaki is. Generally my impression is that it seems to be sort of midway between a naginata and a big sword (tachi rather than katana).
		I'd be inetersted to know what style the nagamaki training you are going to do comes from.

	Nagamaki
		The nagamaki, to me, has a totally different balance and is somewhat unwieldy compared to the naginata which I find more fluid.
		I once came upon a reference regarding the use of the weapon on horseback, and the wielder was cautioned to be very careful lest he cut of the head of his own horse.
		The Araki Ryu Nagamaki has a four foot haft and a three foot blade attached.

		They are known for the preference of Nagamaki as a weapon on the battlefield.
		It is reasonable to assume that such a society would have a great need for weaponry and all the associated accoutrements - and thus a need for an internalized supply industry to feed demand.

		If it attempts to call upon white lightning then it would become victim to Nagamaki.

		Nagamaki translates as 'long wrapped' which refers to their handles originally being wrapped like a sword handle.
		The way it was presented to us, the nagamaki was used in a manner very similar to the naginata with a few minor exceptions.
		To my knowledge, there are no formal Kukishinden Ryu kata for the nagamaki, but all of the kata for the naginata can be performed easily with a nagamaki by making the aforementioned alterations in handling and distancing.

		As a polearm, the spear was a formidable weapon, with its long tang providing ample impact absorption and shock tolerance in battlefield use.
		As we most recently discussed the fascinating battlefield weapon known as the nagamaki on our General Discussion Forum it was a pleasant surprise to find a nagamaki in good condition.
		The nagamaki is interesting because it has a sword-length blade (in this case, approximatley 26") with a hilt that is slightly longer than the blade itself.

		clearly the WM use nagamaki but it is said that it was much more dangerous for the enemy when used mounted on a horse because it could be weilded in a 'figure eight' pattern over the horses neck and was great when surrounded or trying to punch through enemy lines....

		If you would not accept it, then certainly the Nagamaki would have to be accepted, as it very often retained the same tsuka-ito wrappings that you would find on the handle of a katana.
		The Nagamaki is probably almost the exact same thing as the German Landsknecht, having a handle almost but not quite as long as the blade, and on average would have a 3 foot handle with a blade that was, as previously stated, just a bit longer.
		Their use on the battlefield is very well documented, and while I can't provide any exact examples, I really don't think it would be jumping to a conclusion to say that there probably were many that exceeded 6'2".

		Yet, the only nagamaki I have seen (that are referred to as "nagamaki")are nagamaki-naoshi, which appear to be little more than a katana blade with a very long tsuka.
		The Southern California Naginata Federation says on this page that one of the main differences between naginata and nagamaki is that the handle of a nagamaki is wrapped, like a sword handle- not a wooden pole.
		Buthere and here we have weapons that do not have wrapped tsuka that are referred to as nagamaki.
