Testing of the $80 'Bamboo' Katana, one of a series of low cost, differentially hardened Katana with real hamon by Musashi swords.com. Not a bad sword for the money - lightweight and fast, and great against tatami, but not truly 'martial arts grade' (for $80, it is currently impossible..! But these machine made blades are getting reasonably close!).

Train at your own risk and only under direct supervision of a qualified professional. You are solely responsible for damage or injury you cause. Note that swords are illegal in many locations.

Swords of Might video featuring the new Folded Thaitsuki Swords line
threw together a quick closer look at the Thaitsuki Sukueto Hondachi. i should have really polished and cleaned up the blade in my dusty room before filming...so excuse the dust particles and oil. i didnt give my impressions in the video really. no voice over. just a slow meandering look at the sword in close detail. as for handling the sword feels good. its not a 'daily' cutter or something i would use often. though it feels nice. i think the sword is nice and sharp looking. no pun intended. the fittings are all tight. the tsuka ito is nice and tight as well. nothing is loose. the blade is nice. i'm not sure why they did the quarter bohi. i like the look of it..but as for the blade balance its not heavy and without the bohi might have been a little more solid feel to it. though i like how it looks. it breaks up the blade visually. the sword is about 1000 USD. i'd say that if you are looking for a 'cutter' this is not the sword to buy. but for a nice sword thats well put together i think this is a quality piece. one bad thing to note is they must have wrapped the sageo on the saya too soon after lacquer curing because there is some slight imprints on the lacquer from the sageo. i'm not sure if i can buff those out or not. i'm NOT an expert on reviewing swords. i'm just giving my impressions. i do however train with them so as far as feeling this sword feels good...my only complaint about using it is that the saya is a little beefier than other swords i've used so it just ...

Visit "HAZ" - www.sharpswords.com -- "The Black Obake (obakemono) Katana pays homeage to the Japanese folkloric creatures that were feared for their ability to shapeshift and transform. Like the "Obakemono", a single billet of select grade 1095 molten steel was transformed into a world class fighting weapon that took more than one week to forge. With a more than spectacular and real Hamon temperline that is teamed with a surgically sharp cutting edge, this is the sword you'd want at your side if you were going off to War" - The Obake Katana possesses a Fully Hand Forged - Clay Tempered - Full Tang - Double Pegged Blade wa 14.0" long Tsuka (handle) that is covered with tightly woven Japanese Silk Tsuka-ito wrap in Black color w/ underlying real Samegawa (rayskin) in natural white. An exquisitely handsome and manly Tsuba (handguard) made of the finest grade Brass available today, features a Rising Phoenix Circling The Sun.

My training over the last few years has become very traditional, hence i haven't posted many kenvert videos of late. I still owe my whole world to free flow sword form though and hope to always combine the two in harmony. This is a short response video to someone who mentioned i don't use a sharp heavy katana much anymore.. and that i couldn't move one like i do my other swords.. (hence the spins at 1.00) .. lol i assure you it's always been my first and foremost training tool. It's really the only weapon i train with these days..(Vid includes some old fav shots at the end). Glory to my brothers.

NEW DRAGONFLY COLD STEEL DRAGONFLY 88DK The Cold Steel Company prides itself on using traditional parts and fittings for its swords forged by traditional Eastern swordsmiths. This dedication to authenticity along with the sheer power and strength of their blades makes Cold Steel swords extremely desirable to collectors.Cold Steel swords and knives are known for their toughness. For instance, a knife in their Tanto series has been tested by being repeatedly thrust through a car door with no damage suffered by the tip of the blade. To achieve this power without breaking or marring Cold Steel uses a steel lamination process known as San Mai III. "San Mai" means, "three layers" and refers to the fact that laminated sword construction can allow various grades (or layers) of steel to be combined in a single blade. Combining layers in this way allows for maximum flexibility (on outside layers of the blade so it won't shatter when struck in battle) with strength (at the blade's core with a higher carbon steel).Many Cold Steel blades are also made from Carbon V, a high carbon, low alloy cutlery grade steel. The quality of Carbon V makes it extremely strong due to a smelting process which involves Cold Steel metallurgists maintaining an exact microstructure of the steel. After smelting, every shipment is checked for structural quality, cleanliness and chemical content before being optimized for grain flow along the length of the blade. Finally, a unique heat treating process (a ...
