A nagamaki is a type of weapon that appears in dNetHack, notnotdNetHack, and notnotdNetHack, where it effectively replaces the tsurugi. The nagamaki is a huge weapon that is two-handed for a medium-sized wielder, and uses the two-handed sword skill. It has a base material of metal, and appears as a long-handled samurai-sword when unidentified.
There are two artifact nagamaki: The Masamune, a Chaos Temple Quest artifact, and The Tsurugi of Muramasa, the Samurai quest artifact.
