Kabutowari [F]Nunchaku making it a standard tantoTetto Kabutowari Made in Japan Composition: Aluminum Zinc alloy, cotton cord wrapping Length: 47 cm Weight: ~670 g This Kabutowari is made of a hard aluminum zinc alloy, featuring a Tsuka wrapped in a cotton cord. It presents a fairly sharp tip but no blade, as it is not designed to cut or stab, but rather to crush. The hook near the Tsuka was very likely used to parry the opponent's sword, hook the cords of the armor, or perhaps even pry armor plates
