  • That is just scary.

  • nice sword but testing on a galvanised tin garbage bin is not indicative of the blades cutting power. how about trying it out in a fluted milanese curaisse plate armor as this was what it would've been up against back in the day. if it cuts that type of armor like it does the bin then i will be most impressed. good work on the sword though.

  • Did anybody else cringe each time he did that? I'm sorry for the sword

  • very easy to puncture 

  • katana cut it on half without stoping. armor was forged and hardened by hiting blacksmith hammer. More hits in steal its bcomes harder. Can have nothing compare to the armor.

  • @Liquidazot google is not a credible resource for how you determine the strength of armor. steel is strengthened through a process called tempering and normalization. in which the smith heats the steel to 1500degrees centigrade then quenches is in an oil, then heats it to 500 degrees centigrade then lets it cool in room temperature at its own rate.

    you are thinking of folds, and that only works on small pieces of metal not full plates of armor. sorry Wikipedia lied to you.

  • @WaagooshTheRedFox Jesus Christ temperature is half way of hardening, do you understand more hits steal take its becomes more harder? I work with metals so dont teach me nerd internet kiddo. This can you can pearc with common nail grabed in hand. FLEXIBILITY have nothing to Strenght. Temperature only change flexibility not its durability.

  • @Liquidazot one more thing if you dont understand. GLASS is hard and is not flexibilie. but is fragile. The same counts steel. Fast decresing temperature make its hard but not increse its durability.

  • @Liquidazot i am an apprentice blacksmith, not some internet kiddo. on top of that, you are not speaking clearly. learn to speak clear concise english and maybe i would care about your opinion on anything.

    on another note, i don't think you understand how strengthening steel or iron for that matter works. the more you hit something with a hammer the thinner it gets, thus making the work thin. hitting the steel cold can also cause fractures in its grain, weakening it further.

  • im pretty sure i dont need to thrust to cut my butter o.o

  • does anyone have a paypall? I want this sword, but have to wait another 4-6 months before I can place my order. are anyone willing to order 1 if I transfer the money + 15 dollars back to you when I can?

  • now you should return it for being faulty. the can, not the sword.

  • there goes my tin can armor =(

  • I WAS GONNA ASK IF I COULD BUY THAT BIN BUT FUCK THAT NOW :(

  • any idea where to get /watch?v=cTg0Oc0mQy4&feature=r­elated

    that was my dream sword, but if there is no site for it I guess I will have to accept this sword.

  • the closest thing I get to my dream sword so I'll have to get it.

    great review.

    the sword I did want looks a bit like this, very similar blade, but at the bottom of the handle it has something sticking out of the counterweight.

    they made the tang go all the way through then attached the counterweight and smelted it all together. but this sword is close enough

  • it is actually aluminum not steel

  • @Lado916 It's galvanized steel and obviously not thick so no it's steel but not meant to be cut resistant against a real sword.

  • @Lado916 Definitely not aluminum.

  • what could i do to to remove the scratches on my katanas?

  • @caospormi polish I guess. if there are some on the edges to sharpen might work.

    but I am no expert, I'm just saying what might work. soap also helps on scratches in some cases, but no idea what it can do to a sword.

    just try to polish it with sword polish if that exists.

  • note to self, dont make knight armour out of trash bins

  • lol typical american Video, you guys should better keep fireing guns.. for swords you need some skill ;-)

  • @ThorgalsWalhalla actually that is part of the point he does not have great skill and is abusing the blade but it takes the strain in the hands of someone ore skilled it can be more impressive he reviews these objects for a living he even sells them the man is showing the product is tough so people who want a tough blade for test cutting or actual swordplay(these come with a blunt blade suitable for western martial arts)

  • At least some one can tell the difference from steel and aluminum. Youtubers aren't as stupid as you think.

  • @KairosXdeath it's galvanized you are telling me you can tell the difference between pictures of 2 galvanized metals that is like being able to tell the difference between 2 types of painted wood just by looking at a picture

  • awww. cmon it was an aluminum can. get some 14 gauge galvanized steel then try it

  • @zombiekiller347 Can you read? The title states it's steel. it's also made clear in the link to the review.

  • a pierdolnij się tym w łep

  • @pawel1990n Hahaha:)

  • Cool video, but please - invest in a tripod.

  • lol thats tin foil, i could cut it with my keys

  • @DeftDaoist aluminium and you could still do that lol.

  • A good katana, can cut through the trash can, because of the curve, and high carbon steel, mixed with good sharpening,.

  • color me suitably impressed

  • Not impressive.

  • How much did that can cost?

  • @EroticBidoofFixation he said the can cost 25 dollars on his site overall not that great a deal

  • its super effective

  • 0:43 only the baby is impressed

  • punctures the tinfoil like butter

  • This guy is not using it properly. The maximum cut power point of that sword is about 5-6 cm lower then one he is using. If he had just hit the bucket with a lower segment on the blade the bucket would almost be split in half. You gotta know something to do tests. If it was a cheaper sword the tip would have broken off easily. That sword is strictly for mail piercing, metal plate cutting will damage it.

  • @TheBladeEdge

    That's the point. He's testing it in a wide variety of ways to show that it can take a lot of punishment. Not to mention he would not have split the bucket in half. That's an overstatement. Not to mention this guy probably knows a whole lot more about this than you, as he's been doing this for years. Check his site out...

  • @guilemaster147 I intentionally exaggerated about the bucket being split in half. He probably knows a lot more, but Id like to see him apply that knowledge. All of his tests that I saw didn't include flexibility tests, blade bending tests (when you hit a piece of hardwood with the flat side of the blade to see if the blade would bend), or any hilt deforming tests (hitting the cross-guard, hitting with the pommel and twisting the blade from the handle). Its just a guy hitting random objects.

  • @TheBladeEdge

    Oh ok, I did not notice that it was intentional, sorry about that. As for your concerns about it being an incomplete test, this is simply one video of a series of tests on this particular sword. I'm unable to provide links in youtube, but I'm sure you can find the page on his site easily enough. He has videos of flex testing and takes the sword apart and does a full test of it's abilities. This is simply the last section where he puts the blade to a brutal "torture test".

  • @guilemaster147 Ok, Ill try to find it. :-)

  • 1:41 smiley face :D

  • Strike that evil steelcan... you mighty steelcan warrior you....

  • @kungopus He is only showing the quality of different swords and i really like his videos if u dont want to watch them what are u doing here moron?

  • i have a 20lb machete that can do more

  • at 1:43 its a =) face

  • how much money does he have to use sword with no hesitation or fearing that will break?

  • its aluminium and i can cut that can with my scissors -_-

  • I think my swiss army knife could do the first test.

  • OMFG you cut through some galvanized steel! A.K.A. Garbage can,

  • bro thats a garbage can...just so you know....

  • a katana would cit all the way through

  • @TheZombie13777 No it wouldn't. Stop being a fucking weeaboo idiot.

  • @halfassedfart um...yes it would an authentic japanese katana would def cut all the way through and wtf is a weeaboo?

  • @TheZombie13777 Really, no it wouldn't. Katanas aren't these mystical blades that can cut through anything. Sure, they're good blades, when made properly, but they wouldn't cut through steel very effectively. As you can see, it takes a lot of force to cut through steel, which a katana does not generate. Katanas were fast, but not forceful. In an actual cutting test, a katana and a medieval broadsword cut about the same. Difference is in speed and force, inversely.

  • @leonhardtz5 As speed goes up, force goes down. As force goes up, speed goes down. Which, really, is the major factor in why katanas were so dominant. They were able to be drawn and slashed across a neck quickly. But against steel, they would slash through it.

  • @leonhardtz5 *sigh*

    Your first bit looked promising, then it all went to shit when you went on your nonsensical spiel about force and speed which demonstrated fail of epic proportions. Of course a katana doesn't fucking generate force, it's the user that does that. And no, a 'broadsword' (which is a bullshit fantasy term when used to refer to medieval arming swords) is not inherently more forceful in any sense.

    Seriously, do some research before shooting your mouth off.

  • @TheZombie13777 No, an authentic Japanese kat would face even more problems. First off, it has a very hard and brittle edge. Smacking that against a steel drum = bad idea. Second, it's a much thicker sword. That means more material to push aside as it cuts. It should be obvious why that's a bad thing when you're trying to cut through a steel drum. It's not some fucking lightsaber analog, it's a goddamn sword and it will act as such. Stop subscribing to the mass media hype of this weapon.

  • @TheZombie13777 The swords in this test were both forged by the same smith.

    /watch?v=5Hy_A9vjp_s#t=5m55s

    As you can see, the katana doesn't come out looking too good. The longsword took less damage because it broke the target (no rebound) and some of the energy from the strike went into flexing the blade, but the results are still not pretty.

    In short, a sword is a sword, they succumb to abuse regardless of quality. Katanas don't possess magical properties and aren't superlative uberweapons.

  • @halfassedfart 1. Ahh yes I've seen this video many times and there are flaws within the video.

    While both swords were forged by the same smith, the Katana is poorly tempered resulting in a soft edge. This is apparent in both the hamon of the sword which looks no different from that of a $200 mass produced katana. Plus even an amateur knows the katana's main striking point is near the tip, not the middle...of course the result shouldn't surprise anyone.

  • @halfassedfart 2. Now even though I am a Katana fanboy, I do not expect the sword (katana) to cut clean through it as the Katana was not for contact-to-contact. To be quite honest I view the sword as more of a work of art and no so much as a battle piece. A samurai's main weapon was depending on the time period the Yari/Yumi or Yari/Arquebus, the sword was a sidearm rarely used. You are correct in what you say regarding the Katana possessing no magical properties it is merely a steel blade :).

  • NICE, does it glow when orcs are near?

  • man you have a heavy swing. bet you could slice that thing in half with a better sword

  • hey retard you have no idea what steel is. that is tin you are cutting. if you hit a solid peice of steel there is a good chance the sword would break

  • @MDNSBS he retard learn your metals before you call some one names thats shhet metal not tin

  • @MrBodeci lol retard.Sheet metal is simply metal formed into thin and flat pieces. It is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking, and can be cut and bent into a variety of different shapes. its still made of tin

  • @MDNSBS certainly not tin, maybe aluminium, but tin that thin, forget it. Tin is used as a coating in tin cans, but on itself is really weak. Thats why plates made of real tin are so thick (and you can still bend them easily.).

  • @slome815 PS: By the look of it its just galvanised steel in this case, because it's so thin it won't brake to sword, but will probably scratch and dull it. If it was a thick gas cilinder it would be another story.

  • I cringed every time he pulled the sword out of the can. All that scratching and he is destroying that beautiful blade. Do something with it that wont fuck it up so bad. Go kill a cat or something. Anything but this...no...cant watch anymore...too...horrible.

  • LOL, try it on a gel torso! Oh wait- Wrong programme. :P That is a very strong sword.

  • what at twat cant you find something better to do with your time

  • @MrDtacoomber

    hah. if only you knew what "irony" meant. hes demonstrating swords that I am planning on getting. thats pretty productive if you ask me. on the other hand, youre sitting around on youtube talking crap about people. get a life you useless piece of shit.

  • @MrDtacoomber

    He's the twat and for one you can barely spell and number two you have the awareness of a retard, see his profile name, its SwordBuyersGuide, take a stab (unintended pun) at what this is trying to show about this sword.

  • ... its like aluminum or tin my dick could cut through that.

  • Btw. Katana likers/owners/users and western sword people shouldn't fight each other. both kind of swords are made for cutting through armor and flesh, and they both do it very well. but i'm a katana person

  • 1:43 Smiley! =)

  • i could puncture that with a steak knife

  • Very nice sword and for everyone saying die katana fanboys or whatever if you were sword fans you would see the katana the sword takes skills from you to use it and this blade you pretty much dont need much skill but i think the katana and this blade would show a good match

  • This is actually one of the best sword kinds out there. Even better than the katana..... since the katana is only good for slicing.... and the katana's strongest point is only at the middle.....so you have to time your attacks.... this one on the other hand, is good for slicing AND piercing..... and it's strength is all throughout the blade,... DIE katana fanboys

  • @vondat3456 dude. the katana can pierce perfectly fine. it's bot made for it but it works

  • LIKE BUTTER!

  • 1. that sword looks gay

    2. that lid could be pierced even by a kitchen knife

    not much of a big deal really

  • Good sword!

  • what I never understand is why people call it a tin trash can you can clearly see the galvanization ( i know that proves nothing) also why would anyone make one out of tin? that stuff is way too expensive to make things like that out of all in all this is some great sword abuse thanks for helping us make decisions about purchases

  • thats not even steel, thats a fucking tin waste basket... what a retard

  • you're camera work sucks whoever filmed this

  • omg stop torturing the blade dude

  • way to use the weakest steel you could possibly find...

  • I wasn't impressed with stabbing the can lid. A screwdriver has the same effect.

    Then I saw him slice the can.

    Now I'm impressed.

  • Totally owned that Garbage Can Lid

  • lol "punches through steel likes butter..." dumb ass thats a tin can! TIN!!!! element Sn lol and if its steel..... like you say.... its not even 1mm thick lol its lick sheet metal!

  • steady the frame man.

  • 1:40

    smiley face =)

  • That's aluminum.

  • Comment removed

  • the sword is like the devil's tooth pick =x

  • is it just sword or do u use other weapons like guns or axes or a bananna

  • No? --> 0:06

  • How many swords do you have?

  • K, do it =D

  • Impressive testing.

  • dumb much? Everything can cut flesh. Even a sissor. If you want to test the strength of the weapon, you have to test it on something tougher.

  • yup I have to agree, you should try on a brick or something like extra sword. It would be awesome which sword is going shattered first, then we can compare which sword can stay longer in parry hits.

  • @NathanielZhe Fuck a frigging tooth pick can cut a man!

  • @vlad2101 Grass cuts people every day..

  • @taken4time  =/ i got cut on a granola bar once...

  • @allenblackcarp e.e I got cut on a bowl of jello before.... it sucked because I couldn't tell if it was blood or jello on my hand

  • hahh lol its a smily face @ the end xD

    awesome lol hahaha

    try it on a car !!!!11111oneoneone lol

    =P

  • It doesn't hurt if it can cut/pierce both. Most soldiers in medieval times would have worn chain mail as well as heavy clothing, which would be very hard to cut through, but possible to pierce with a sharp, needle-pointed sword. It would hardly penetrate a real shield though.

  • it slices! it dices!

  • Steel? Aluminum imo

  • i like samurai sword best

  • I agree with piwright43, I make chain out of galvanized tin, lighter even then steel, and my full shirt and coif by itself is 50 lbs. And yes, that is a galvanized TIN garbage can lid. don't believe? go to your local walmart or whatever store and see yourself, there is a reason some people call them garbage tins instead of cans.

  • i do this with my fist, sucker.

  • na und? da haste ne blechdose gekilt. toller typ.

  • you cut just tin , not steel ... Ever see a real Knight Armor?

  • that is clearly a galvanized steel bucket... have you ever held a sword?

  • I'm Steel Construction worker and welder. ;) You can destroy it with a screwdriver ...

  • agreed.... well... depends on your definition of destroyed is....

    a few holes isnt quite destroyed enough for me or paul according to the vid...

  • killing de mülleimer

  • katanas FTW

  • Lmao all of you're debating is funny. Armor can way between 12pounds too 260 pounds depending on type and layers. It all depends how much mobility and defense you want.

  • 260 pounds? Where did you get that idea? Full plate harnesses would weigh in at around 60-80 pounds. *Maybe* as heavy as 100 pounds (compensating low steel grades with thickness), but 260 pounds is 130 kgs, and NO armour was anywhere near that heavy.

  • actually after guns were invented knights wore armor as heavy as 300 lbs

  • That's like wearing me rofl. I know people in the Army with complete assault gear and ruck sacks AND medical equipment and still don't weigh nearly that much.

  • Wrong. Plate armor and chainmail, intended for battle, would weight around 80 lbs combined.

  • @Ranziel1 At a pop culture expo someone was wearing chainmail, they said that the coat of mail was about 25 pounds.

  • its complete aluminium you mindless animal

  • The sword in How It's Made was made by Albion, which i think is better than this one, since Albion is considered the best manufacturer.

  • You made a smiley :D

  • i hear a little kid.. dont swing a sword with ppl close!

  • Hey, I saw that sword being made on how its made

  • this is something they need on time warp to see if the sword is cutting it or tareing it. what do you think?

  • i think it cuts the first 2 times but the third you can see it bent one side which is a tear probably just from getting dulled

  • Ahhh!! to the guy who'd buy this sword in the first place!

  • i can penetrate that with a toothpick.. get a life

  • u sucks

  • mmmmmmmmmmm butter......

  • Ya would that be the Katana you bought at the flee market for 19.95 LMAO! Try and find a good Katana out there in Dark Sword Armory's price range ($300) USD GOOD LUCK BUDDY! There's nothing wrong with a well made medieval sword......

  • Trueswords.c0m, Masahiro Shadow Warrior Katana, 100$, just as good if not better then this.

  • katana much better

  • i agree

  • ^_____________________^

  • If you ever get attacked by a dustbin this is the weapon for you!

  • u had put your whole body weight into thrusting the heavy clumsy sword into the aluminum garbage can cover. nd that's not "minor" scratching.

  • it's funny how knowledgeable you think you sound.

  • im not trying to sound knowledgeable, im just stating the obvious. ne idiot could have seen that

  • The can is steel.

  • yes, the can is steel, the cover is aluminum

  • maby cover is Zinc (Zn)? aluminium is too soft to be cover...

  • babbo..come rovinare una katana

  • Good to know for when people are hunting garbage can lids

  • dude a fkin true katana would split the hole shitt lol

  • You=RETARTED i dont think they had aluminum back in the day ROFL AT YOU!!!!!!

  • Ha, stupid katana fanboys would be crying if they ever see this video. It just goes to show that the katana is not the only sword that can cut like a razor.

  • thats an ugly sword

  • Any sword can be sharp, but a katana is curved meaning less surface area is touching your target, making it more efficient. Also the katana is made with 2 grades of steel, making is stronger and sharper than any other kind of sword. Just saying that almost any kind of sword could do the same to that 1/8 inch aluminum.

  • I just like the Samurai culture better thats all

  • That's alright, I just don't hate it when anime fanboys think that katanas can slice through tanks and boulders and still be sharp enough to shave with.

  • It's the curved design I love and can cut through human body parts like butter..But I have a Viking sword which can do the same

  • It's just that you have to angle the blade just right while you pull it towards you to slice effectively.

  • 45* is accepted as the most frequently used angle.

    Also, for the unwise, and blade with weigh behind it will cut through a steel drum.

    He was testing the scratch and dent resistance of the design.

  • @aspie101 a good katana would cleanly go through that whole can in one blow

  • @JoKeResurection that is true. GO KATANAS!!!

  • @JoKeResurection

    Yeeah obviously dumb retards. Katanas can cut thru TANKS. I saw it in an anime.

  • @Armacalypse LOL,an anime......IT MUST BE TRUE QUICKLY TELL ME ALL THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE YOU HATE I'LL PUT EM IN MY DEATH NOTE :P.....man i love anime
