ZanbatĹŤ



A zanbatō (斬馬刀, literally "horse-slaying sword" or "horse-chopping saber"), also spelled zanbatou or zambatou, is an especially large type of Japanese sword of which its historical use is disputed. The sword closely resembles the nodachi or ōdachi however it differs from the nodachi by having additional wrapping down an unsharpened portion of the handle approximately 12" to 18" inches.
