no because you will not be dumb enough to walk down the street with it you keep it in the house or your car for transport perhaps taking it into the backyard to do things sort of like this you do not need a liscence for that
No, in no state do you need a license to own an edged weapon. In spite of what lockbreak12 says, there is no law stopping you from walking down the street with it if you wanted to.
That may vary from one state to another, but as long as a weapon is not concealed in most states they're perfectly legal. The only weapon you need a permit to carry is a firearm.
I was wondering. What would you say is the best sharpener out there? I know probably there is different ones for different blades but the best overall. Id appreciate if you could let me know. : )
samurai swords must be sharpened ONLY with a whetstone. No other sharpener should be used as samurai swords have a very particular edge and any other method of sharpening will ruin the cutting edge.
@StandardFiend A slack belt sander with an ultra-fine belt works excellently to maintain the proper edge geometry :) I still prefer whetstones though :)
i bought the sgc yamakani from you, great sword but accidently dented the edge. but its still pretty sharp! but do you have a katana that is razor sharp and light?
I want that kind of sword.. but i live in the uk and have no way of getting it into the country, i've heard some sites send them over all the time but i dont trust them
Hey, maybe I'm wrong but aren't the tatami mats supposed to have a bamboo core? Do you feel that the core isn't needed? If so, for what reason? Thanks.
the bamboo core is for experienced cutters. Inexperienced cutters are likely to chip, crack, scratch or break swords when trying to cut bamboo which can result in serious personal injury.
Bamboo core was to simulate bone as the whole was a substitute for human testing. My question was posed to the video author to see his reasoning for not using one.
Having cut both types you can feel a distinct difference between the two hence the question posed especially in light of the torture tests shown in other videos.
I'm familiar with the use of bamboo to substitute bone, but as I have said that practice is reserved for advanced students.
Paul does some pretty horrifying, dangerous things with swords but fuck all if he isn't entertaining. I only hope he doesn't wind up getting badly hurt chopping up drum cans.
It's not enough for the sword to be good, the person doing the cutting has to be really good, too. Even if you have a really great sword, you'll beat it up pretty badly if you're cutting bamboo at bad angles. Bamboo is hard and sharp.
I would like to see someone put to the test if bamboo is really a good substitute for bone. Bamboo is hollow, bones are not.
@StandardFiend Have you ever tried to break bamboo? man they are tough! i think they might be harder than human bone... but i would love to see it tested actually your right :)
@StandardFiend You're right, bones aren't hollow, they're filled with marrow XD I dunno, bones seem easier to break than bamboo. As far as cutting goes, I'd say green bamboo is harder to cut through than bones as well.
quick question...im getting pretty good with my cuts and i wanna try cutting some soaked newspaper with a wooden dowel core. i rolled two 1-2 inch rolls with a 6 inch length of dowel(dowel has a 1/4-1/2 inch diameter) in it not sure what wood it is. think the sgc can handle it? oh and i have read that katanas with thin profile roll and chip agianst wood, this dosent apply to the SGC does it?
Dowel is a funny medium - many JSA people say that it is much harder to cut than bamboo, and does not really approximate human bone density like bamboo does. I very much doubt that it will damage the SGC. But it may be extremely challenging to cut if your form is off.
Not sure, I've seen it do three. But I don't have many rolls, nor form or power (lol) so couldn't do it myself. Though may get in some more rolls and see how the blade does by itself (if you know what I mean).
you dont give yourself enough credit my dear sir. lol...you dont look that bad really...when you make a strike you do draw the sword back slightly with your left hand while using your wrists to keep the blade in a proper arc, and you do make a nice small step forawrd to generate more inertia...so your really not as bad as you make it seem =P
i suppose, but the way i look at it when it comes to cutting mats and other materials, there is only so much to learn, all of which you can just simply learn on your own by reading, doing research and watching the "pros" do their thing. honestly all an instructer is going to do is show you what to do, which is basicly the same thing as watching a video of them, no?
Yeah, it sure is... I didn't know about it when I bought it, but because of the software - well, lets just say I wont be buying kodak again (the software had a major crash and lost about 1 years worth of photos) :-(
i got a $678 samurai sword i practiced by cuting my sisters barbe doll in half.

@StandardFiend if you were to fill bamboo with balistics gel, it would be about identical to bone. bone marrow is essentially jelly.
