I’m super late to this video but kanabo were more common than people think. You said you’ve only seen them in museums prior to your purchase so I assume those were all metal. Most kanabo were fully made from wood apart from the metal studs ofc. Because wood is an organic material, they wouldn’t stand the test of time and we wouldn’t see many living examples.
i had a friend make me a 72 inch long kanabo out of a large chunk of a quebracho wood (hardest wood on the planet) and studded it with custom made tungsten carbide studs, cost me a fuck ton of money to have made due to the materials, the thing weighs a ton, and is perfect for me, since im a big lad at 7'7" so i pretty much look like a real oni when i hold it edit: my friend carved the kanji for its name on its handle, which is "Yama no hakaimono" translated means "breaker of mountains"
The warhammer your friend made you looks suspiciously like the one featured in your art for Legend of the Five Rings' card "Tetsubo". I assume the similarity was intentional?
Hi sorry if I missed it, but I didn't notice you say the exact weight of the antique Kanabo, do you know it's exact weight? I'm doing research into historical kanabo before I start a production line of them for sale. I want to get accurate weights to make them as on point as possible. Thanks in advance.
I love simple weapons, and nothing more simple then a stick with some metal on it. I love kanabo’s so so much.
What about a straight up stick?

I love this show. Keep it up! Every episode is inspirational one way or another.
Thank you!!!
The name of the antique shop is called KYOTO. It's in Georgetown (Seattle) in the old ice house brewery building.
They were making them well up into the 19th century.

If you were a samurai and were poor and couldn't afford swords, you carried a tetsubo.
