Money is not a problem. I need a Naginata that
is hand-forged,which means real,or carbon-steel.
But,it must have a blade on both sides.

Wow... I have no idea where the fruit thing came from... The naginata is the Japanese take on the halberd, with strong influences coming from the Chinese kwan-dao. It was used by many samurai on the front lines or in the calvary due to it's great reach and leverage. A pole arm that is sometimes used in soujutsu, the naginata and it's true art, naginatajutsu, are much more graceful and circular than, say, the yari (Japanese straight spear). As far as the standard, single bladed naginata, try Paul Chen and Hanwei. Their naginata is hand forged, full tang, differentially tempered, and incredibly well balanced. If you want one with a blade on each end, it will probably end up being a custom order... You could always find someone to re-fit a shaft for two of the naginata blades. Feel free to contact me if you need more details. I have studied the naginata, and am in the blade business myself, so I could do some looking for you if you would like. I think it's fun.

I do not study naginata. It is traditionally a women's weapon.
It was used to gather fruit.
You may want to contact a black smith and get one custom made as it I have never seen a hand made one.
They were used to cut fruit off of high branches.

A double-bladed naginata? I don't think there is such a thing-if it is double-bladed it would be some variety of yari.

Think the first twin bladed helicopters were named after the famous WW2 Polish general - Sikorsky [sorry about the spelling]. The modern versions are I think called Chinooks or some such.
