I've never seen so many irrelevant unrelated comments on one thread. lol. The sword is crazy huge man. interesting to see it cut though.
@swordsofmight this is one blade you want to work on correct form with. when you pulled it around your head it was very possible that the blade could have shaken, connected with the table you placed the mat on and shattered. I urge you to use extreme caution in the future when weilding such an over sized blade. Crazy video otherwise. That' sword is too much.
Because I am a sword collector, I have alot of different japanese swords including a nodachi and an odachi. I have been to weapon expo's in Japan, I have seen the Masamune Collection in Tokyo. In which all the different types of Japanese swords were on display.
@DeanWinchester133 Agreed... but the differences are not that major. The Odachi was made to cut the limbs of horses. The Nodachi was made to kill as many people as possible with each swing. BUT... this sword is not an Odachi. This is actually a Nodachi. The Odachi has a longer handle (1/3 of the total length) and the Nodachi had a handle that is 1/6 the full length. The Nodachi was made for holding with 2 hands, but there were samurai taht could wield 2 at the same time... kinda crazy tho...
@Vottaro Try the cheness o-katana, it's not as long but it's made of spring steel. Otherwise look up huaweiswords on ebay stores, they do custom work of any kind for a good price.
Only sword I own is the $93 sakabato I got from amazon. I still practice with it it weighs 7lbs so I think it's a little heavier than the average katana/nihonto. I'm practicing kenjutsu with it at home or outside where there's not many people outside. Sometimes my dad condo's pool area is empty so I practice out there. I even named my sakabato Mitsu Okita/Okita Mitsu the sister of Souji Okita. Mainly because she stood by him and took care of him while he was sick till she was forced to leave.
@xxwes997xx im sorry, but america isnt that great,always bothering other countries, always taking what isnt theirs...really, its not as great as you think, yes, then you going to reply and tell me how great it is, and at the same time try to insult me, at least think it through a bit...
@xxwes997xx yea, you bet. i think you are fat american with smal p.ee.nis and big sword. and. yea, you come from big country, what doesn't makes you better and wont make your p.ee.nis bigger. sorry for you
@enkkidu judging by how your afraid to type penis, i immagine you must be......8 years old? 12 at most? so why dont you go fuck off you pussy ass little bitch. Your just jealous because we americans have the freedom to do w/e the fuck we want and you are a fucking slave to your government. go kill yourself kthnx :)
@xxwes997xx said "Your just jealous because we americans have the freedom to do w/e the fuck we want [...]"
You haven't paid attention to the new recently. You bigot have lose all your freedom already. You haven't noticed it yet because you are blind by misplaced devotion, unhealthy pride and selfishness. Typical amerifag. Fuck you.
@newtubetubetube wha freedom have we lost exactly? last time i checked i can still talk shit about my government, own a full auto AK-47, write whatever i want in the newspaper, have due process in court trials, im free from unlawful search and seizure, i can basically do anything i want except rob rape and pillage. Eve heard of the BILL OF RIGHTS? nope cuz your lame country doesnt have one. GOD BLESS AMERICA, oh yeah, thats another one. Freedom of Religion.
@choopdewoot Read the entire thread idiot. You cant just fool around like a newfuck and reply on a random message before reading the entire thread. Fuck you.
@newtubetubetube your a childish assed dumb fuck stop bitchin and bring those arguments to a video about american loss of freedom. not a fucking samurai sword video.
Odachi were not designed for tameshigiri. They were made for Shinto Priests to defend their temples. They were referred to as temple swords. The battlefield equivalent was the Nagimaki.
@malevolenceXXXensues They who? If you mean Samurai and women of Samurai families, then yes they did. The Nagimaki was a Naginata blade mounted onto a long tsuka and used as a sword. The were used against horse bound soldiers to take out the legs of the horse thus dismounting the rider whereby the Samurai would be able to easily dispatch them. The pole-arm version was also used in battle, but had different application. Tameshigiri was not the way to practice with it!
the sword may be long but your swing was weak and slow
remember not to flick your wrists and that you get the maximum amount of power by spreading your hands so that one it by the guard and the other is close to the end of the handle
The thing is so large it could cut two men in half with one swoop.
Only problem I see with it, is that due to the length it could break with a powerful hit from a katana. If you know how to use it, then that won't happen. But like with all long swords the tendancy to snap in two is greater with every inch of length.
Still this fucking thing cut 4 pumpkins in half with one blow.
@DonMeaker kojiro sasaki I heard his job was more adminastrative he was never recruited into an army and that he killed a few attackers with a folding fan
I still laugh that people don't realize that these kinds of videos are to show the Quality of the sword, not the weilders form and perfect movements. He works for an online company that sells this sword. I thank you for putting videos online so we can see that it will cut without bending. Besides is he uses it wrong and it still cuts and doesn't bend from it, that puts more goodness to the blade. If you guys wanna complain give him tips to improve instead. Don't wine about it.
@nivenheim i see where ur coming from. however a big guy like me wields a nodachi like it is a katana. to me a katana is a 1 handed weaon like a wakizashi. i know thats an exception. but it adds bias to my side. for me a nodachi isnt unwieldly its a piece of cake :P
and about what this is. its not an odachi. and odachi has a long ass handle and looks like a spear or pole arm with a katana blade. this is a Nodachi. field sword. where its hand eis prioportionate to the blade meaning it doesnt have an oversized handle its just like a scaled up version of katana
I think you are refering to a nagamaki. A nagamaki has a long blade and a handle almost as long as the blade. A naginata is what looks like a polearm, but with a wakizashi length blade. A nodachi is just a scaled up katana. Daikatana is in between katana and nodachi. I think odachi and nodachi are interchangable, but there might be some slight difference.
the sword itself could be a lightsaber and with that shitty swing not even cut warm butter...dont blame the sword on the guys shit technique. looks to me like he needs to lift some weights and then practice before he trys to do a demonstration cuz now no1s gna buy his swords when his video shows him falling on his ass and barely cutting a tiny mat with a huge sword that should be able to cleave 3 men in a single swing.
Odachi's are known for the their great length and difficulty to handle so it is no surprise that he can't really handle it all to well. As for the sharpness of the blade it is indeed very dull. But other then that it looks like a good item to collect and maybe use once or twice. lol
he did even take time to truely swing he it swung it like he got spooked second the sword maybe sharp wich alowed it to go through but the way he hit it he didnt hit it direct enough to cut it fluidly hence being knocked of the stand from a sloppy strike its not rebar its a sword if you dont hit precisly you wont cut through crap itself
Wow, that is one dull sword, and one poor baseball bat swing. Knocked over the tatami stand and BARELY made it through the mat. I think I'll keep looking for a better sword.
An oversized katana is not a katana. A katana can only be classified as such if the blade is around 30 in. or so. If anything, his sword is a Nodachi.
Sephiroth doesn't use Odachi.. He use a custom made thin katana..Which length is over two person's height. Absolutly not Odachi, Odachi's blade is thicker and wider than Sephiroth's..But anyways, it's anime and fantasy..Can't really compare..
To be call Odachi, there's two MUST. 1) The blade width- From blade to the spine width is much much wider than a katana. 2) The hilt is much longer than usual katana, but the blade it self is just a bit longer than the hilt.
Sephiroth's katana first, his blade is not wide at all! Extremly thin in the visual effect. Second, the blade itself is way too much longer than the hilt.
Sephiroth's own height is already passed 200cm. And his katana is even taller than himself nearly 2x.
@NeroEA look, just Callit a Daito, ok? Dai meaning Great or large, To meaning sword. Katana must have a specific blade length and curvature at the base of the blade to be Considered such, and the sword in question meets neither requirement.
@LuminOfMoonlight Katana just means "sword". Whether any given blade is classed as say, a katana or tachi for example is how it's mounted. The only way to tell is by checking which side of the blade the smith marked.
@Kunstdesfechtens The generic word for sword is "ken". Even "dachi" is better than "katana" for a generic sword. To tell between a katana and a tachi, you are (mostly) correct, but it is a common American misconception that "sword" and "katana" are interchangeable. And if it's a proper tachi versus a proper katana by period forging techniques, there is again a difference in the way the steel is treated, but that's not (usually) applicable to modern swords.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what a waste of money...extra length will make it heavier, the blade itself seems quite dull, you probably can't draw it from your sheath without 10ft long arms.
What the hell is your issue? I said that because it might not be so obvious to some people. You cant see that? There is so much misinformation about swords and martial arts its rediculous. Ill politely give them the correct information and help them be more aware of things. Thats what I did. Speaking of some people, there are those that will pick fights over the most stupid of things. I dont know why you are insulting me, but I refuse to get in a childish arguement with you over this.
alright ,, calm down, i dont need a speach, look im not personally attacking u , i dont know, im just yankin ya chain man, dont take it so personal..... :)
no you were right its really really really obvious that the person plays a role to. he/she holds the sword and then...omg...here it comes...swings it!!!!!!!
"or whatever his name was" like you dont know well enough to even spell it properly with a PH. Pfft, the only thing sadder than a FF7 Fanboy is an FF7 Fanboy in denial.
its hard as hell to show sarcasm in letters....and how the hell am i in denial... dumbshit, and what do you have against ff7 i only remembered him because i was watching my friend play kingdom hearts and that IS how you spell it his name you dislexic sonafabitch. p.s. i spelled dyslexic wrong so you can actually read it. up yours fucker! BURN!
Oh, ow, owie, ow, that hurt! Mommy, the mean man was mean to me!
1: I know that's how you spell his name. My comment refers to the fact that you put in "(or whatever his name was)" like you didn't know for sure, when you clearly do. I bet you got a hard-on when Sephiroth came on the screen.
2: So much anger! Did I hurt the poor widdle fanboy's feewings?
3: Burn? Really? You actually say BURN after you spew intellectual diarrhea like that? What are you, twelve? I mean mentally, not physically.
yes, and what are you? six? trying to act like it with all that mommy! mommy! shit, please i'll give one finger 'cause your not even worth two, i'm out. Go cry home to your mama. I'm guessing you were bottle fed?
Awesome comeback man, truly genius. Bravo. I am thoroughly impressed and totally pwnt by your mighty comeback. I mean taking my own response, cutting the age in half, and tossing it right back like that? Total genius. You must have wracked your brain to come up with that.
There you go, there's the kind word and pat on the back your parents wouldn't give you. You want a lolipop too?
Alright, now run along like a good boy and let the big boys get back to grown up things.
Oh god, i apologize, i was just being sarcastic, and besides, i never played FF7 in fact, i couldn't stand it, now im tired of all this bullshit name calling, truce?
I know i'm an asshole. You are too. So is everyone over 15. If you can look at what you've done over your life and say your not, you have problems. :D
It seems funny to me, I love apanese culture and history but seeing as how the ancient japanese people were, on average, shorter than five feet tall, woulden't it be kind of weird for someone of such a small size use a sword that is almost twice as long as they are tall
The odachi were used when a samurai was on a horse. The bow was NOT the main weapon. The bow was just a distance weopon but every bowman had a katana too.
P.S. I am not very good at english so it can be that some lines aren't right.
i believed they were used at some point but after they realized they weren't that effective they went back to other alternatives or they didn't train with them that long enough. you also have to remember to that they were also worn across the back of soldiers as symbol of status. but the statistics of a weapon doesn't determine if its bad its the wielder. give the weapon to an experienced person then it becomes deadly. for a spear to become effective in combat back then one would have to know
how to properly use it. if the solider back then in certain armies trained with just spears and katana's then their skill in that weapon would be superb. if a foot solider or any solider train with a few of these nodachi's i am sure they would be quite good.
Sasaki Kojiro was one of the best swordsmen of Japanese history, and his weapon of choice? An odachi affectionately dubbed Monohoshi Zao, or clothes drying pole.
And who wasn't beat by Musashi with some unconventional weapon or unconventional use of common weapons? Just saying, Sasaki won his fair share of duels too, and it is universally agreed that he was Musashi's toughest opponent. All with an odachi.
I'd like to chime in by saying Muso Gonnosuke beat Musashi. Well, maybe, maybe not. But he is the only one even rumored to have beaten Musashi. In all likelyhood it was a draw.
He was said to have used a sword larger than normal, but when he and Musashi fought, the Tokugawa shogunate had limited the size of katana, so he probably used a sword of the maximum allowable size. Lot of good it did him, though. Thats why Musahsi lived to write the Go Rin No Sho, and Kojiro ended up worm food.
it was terrible on the back for one thing... weilding a 12 pound sword with no balance. Europe's great swords were made with pommels to help the weight. i also heard that japanese werent allowed to touch their blades with bare hands, something about it being their souls or something. anywho, if your under 6'3 your going to have an impossible time wielding this mother load, so its either one strike or the strike of fear ur foe gets at the sight of this.
yeah, they were used on horseback units and a few foot solders would have them to but i found out they weren't that effect in close quarters. the naginata just like the odachi or nodachi did just as good as this weapon.
its just like a normal katana. i mean you dont to really just swing this sword or pole are fast while on a horse to cut any one. since it's long i sure they probably used the sword as a spear as well. meaning they used the tip a lot more, rather then the edge.
spears were the primary weapons for the japanese for along time, before the whole katana 'soul' idea came out. but i dont think they used this like a spear. again, its a giant knife, and the wieght is not distributed right, so attempting to thrust would throw you off balance, besides the enemy could parry and slide in for a kill. no wonder this weapon wasnt popular among sam's.
i beleive theyd rather fight with a blade and shorter blade or a spear than to use this sucker.

To be call Odachi, there's two MUST. 1) The blade width- From blade to the spine width is much much wider than a katana. 2) The hilt is much longer than usual katana, but the blade it self is just a bit longer than the hilt.
Sephiroth's katana first, his blade is not wide at all! Extremly thin in the visual effect. Second, the blade itself is way too much longer than the hilt.
Sephiroth's own height is already passed 200cm. And his katana is even taller than himself nearly 2x.

@NeroEA look, just Callit a Daito, ok? Dai meaning Great or large, To meaning sword. Katana must have a specific blade length and curvature at the base of the blade to be Considered such, and the sword in question meets neither requirement.

@LuminOfMoonlight Katana just means "sword". Whether any given blade is classed as say, a katana or tachi for example is how it's mounted. The only way to tell is by checking which side of the blade the smith marked.
Kunstdesfechtens 1 year ago
@Kunstdesfechtens The generic word for sword is "ken". Even "dachi" is better than "katana" for a generic sword. To tell between a katana and a tachi, you are (mostly) correct, but it is a common American misconception that "sword" and "katana" are interchangeable. And if it's a proper tachi versus a proper katana by period forging techniques, there is again a difference in the way the steel is treated, but that's not (usually) applicable to modern swords.

what a waste of money...extra length will make it heavier, the blade itself seems quite dull, you probably can't draw it from your sheath without 10ft long arms.

What the hell is your issue? I said that because it might not be so obvious to some people. You cant see that? There is so much misinformation about swords and martial arts its rediculous. Ill politely give them the correct information and help them be more aware of things. Thats what I did. Speaking of some people, there are those that will pick fights over the most stupid of things. I dont know why you are insulting me, but I refuse to get in a childish arguement with you over this.

the main weapon of the samurai were the katana.
The odachi were used when a samurai was on a horse. The bow was NOT the main weapon. The bow was just a distance weopon but every bowman had a katana too.

i believed they were used at some point but after they realized they weren't that effective they went back to other alternatives or they didn't train with them that long enough. you also have to remember to that they were also worn across the back of soldiers as symbol of status. but the statistics of a weapon doesn't determine if its bad its the wielder. give the weapon to an experienced person then it becomes deadly. for a spear to become effective in combat back then one would have to know
SleepingWolf26 3 years ago
how to properly use it. if the solider back then in certain armies trained with just spears and katana's then their skill in that weapon would be superb. if a foot solider or any solider train with a few of these nodachi's i am sure they would be quite good.
SleepingWolf26 3 years ago
its heavier than a spear, and you can have maybe a 1'1/2" to hold at one end. for someone 5 feet and under, its a worthless sword.
main katanas were usually around 36-43 inches. this ones 68!

Sasaki Kojiro was one of the best swordsmen of Japanese history, and his weapon of choice? An odachi affectionately dubbed Monohoshi Zao, or clothes drying pole.
ashesinthewax 3 years ago
And he was beat by Musashi with just a wooden boat ore.
SleepingWolf26 3 years ago
And who wasn't beat by Musashi with some unconventional weapon or unconventional use of common weapons? Just saying, Sasaki won his fair share of duels too, and it is universally agreed that he was Musashi's toughest opponent. All with an odachi.
ashesinthewax 3 years ago
I'd like to chime in by saying Muso Gonnosuke beat Musashi. Well, maybe, maybe not. But he is the only one even rumored to have beaten Musashi. In all likelyhood it was a draw.

aaahshs 3 years ago
He was said to have used a sword larger than normal, but when he and Musashi fought, the Tokugawa shogunate had limited the size of katana, so he probably used a sword of the maximum allowable size. Lot of good it did him, though. Thats why Musahsi lived to write the Go Rin No Sho, and Kojiro ended up worm food.

it was terrible on the back for one thing... weilding a 12 pound sword with no balance. Europe's great swords were made with pommels to help the weight. i also heard that japanese werent allowed to touch their blades with bare hands, something about it being their souls or something. anywho, if your under 6'3 your going to have an impossible time wielding this mother load, so its either one strike or the strike of fear ur foe gets at the sight of this.

wolfmoonwatcher 3 years ago
yeah, they were used on horseback units and a few foot solders would have them to but i found out they weren't that effect in close quarters. the naginata just like the odachi or nodachi did just as good as this weapon.
SleepingWolf26 3 years ago
I would suppose a naginata would be much easier to wield, since the weights are far more balanced and the range is much better.
wolfmoonwatcher 3 years ago
no way theres no balance with that thing on horseback, if anything they were made to take the horsemen out from a nice distance away.
worldfest 3 years ago
its just like a normal katana. i mean you dont to really just swing this sword or pole are fast while on a horse to cut any one. since it's long i sure they probably used the sword as a spear as well. meaning they used the tip a lot more, rather then the edge.
SleepingWolf26 3 years ago
spears were the primary weapons for the japanese for along time, before the whole katana 'soul' idea came out. but i dont think they used this like a spear. again, its a giant knife, and the wieght is not distributed right, so attempting to thrust would throw you off balance, besides the enemy could parry and slide in for a kill. no wonder this weapon wasnt popular among sam's.
i beleive theyd rather fight with a blade and shorter blade or a spear than to use this sucker.
