Nagoya Arsenal

The design was intended to give the average Japanese infantryman a long enough reach to pierce the abdomen of a cavalryman. However, the design had a number of drawbacks, some caused by the poor quality of forgings used, which tended to rust quickly and not hold an edge, and to break when bent.

The weapon was manufactured from 1897 to 1945 at a number of locations, including the Kokura Arsenal,Koishikawa Arsenal  (Tokyo) and Nagoya Arsenal  as well as under contract by private manufacturers including Matsushita, Toyoda Automatic Loom and others.
