Kabutowari
The , also known as hachiwari, was a type of knife-shaped weapon, resembling a jitte in many respects. This weapon was carried as a side-arm by the samurai class of feudal Japan.
==Types==
''kabutowari'' were usually around 350mm long; some larger versions are around 450mm long.〔Stone, George Cameron. (''A Glossary of the Construction, Decoration and Use of Arms and Armor: In All Countries and in All Times'' ). Courier Dover Publications. 1999. pp. 273, fig. 340.〕 There were two types of ''kabutowari'': a dirk-type a and truncheon-type.
The dirk-type was forged with a sharp dirk-like point,〔Cunningham, Don. ''Taiho-Jutsu: Law and Order in the Age of the Samurai''. p. 75.〕 which could be used to parry an opponent's sword, to hook the cords of armor or a helmet, or like a can opener to separate armor plates. The sharp point could pierce unprotected or weak areas of an opponent's armor like the armpit area.〔 The blade of this type of ''kabutowari'' was a curved tapered square〔Stone, George Cameron. (''A Glossary of the Construction, Decoration and Use of Arms and Armor: In All Countries and in All Times'' ). Courier Dover Publications. 1999. pp. 273.〕 iron or steel bar with a hook on its back edge.〔Bennett, Matthew. (''The Hutchinson dictionary of ancient & medieval warfare'' ). Taylor & Francis. 1998. pp. 136.〕 In combat, one could parry and catch a blade with that hook, as with a jitte. Some ''kabutowari'' of this type were mounted in the style of a tanto with a koshirae.〔
The truncheon-type was blunt, cast iron or forged truncheon-like weapon resembling a tekkan or a jitte. This type of kabutowari had the same basic shape as the dirk-type kabutowari including the hook, but it was usually blunt and not meant for stabbing.
