Tutorial for Inspecting Your Katana Before Cutting

[omototashito]

What Katana is used in this Tutorial? I like the look of it! I am just curious :)

[KenpoBouzo]

My blade rattles a bit in the habaki and in the saya, made me very sad. It is a prettty cheap version but still got me pretty sad :) Makes you want to spend more money for quality fittings and wrapping on handle.

[MrNevped]

Hi can you tell me the Quality differance between Munatoshi brand and the Ryan sword brands?

[jord505]

woah dude, ive been watching some of your more recent videos recently and i have noticed you have lost alot of weight! im so happy for you! :)

[urUPLOADsucks]

I want to move over to a better sword. Do you guys know if this company is reputable. If so, I am 6'3" and I am looking at their trial run 33" "O Katana"...

Cheness Cutlery, they have a website the one I am looking at is in the 9260 category

[jonathankundinger]

@urUPLOADsucks they have good katanas but their honestly overprised

[KagaKiyomitsu]

I want to know what Katana this is........cause I love the look of it!

[exported77]

hello i was wondering what you guys thought about 440 stainless steel blades now i would have got a "better one" but someone told me that if i tryed to get a sword shipped to canada that customs would take it so i was wondering if you guys ship to canada and if you have ever had a problem thank you for your time 

[heyyayway123]

@exported77 i heard that katanas were banned in canada actually, i know they are in England

[RainTransformed]

@heyyayway123

Here in the UK, they are not banned if they are created in the traditional way by hand. Just thought I'd let you know. :)

[eigokudemangaka]

@RainTransformed

He might have been talking about the law that prevents the sale of swords that have more than a certain curve. That specific law has recently been changed to curved swords that are underpriced. Better that way because otherwise any old fool could buy a sword and seriously hurt or kill someone. Beyond that the only other law governing them I dont think you are allowed a sword even wooden ones outside.

[thebestbestguyever]

what is a meckugi

[GrecoWrestlerNJ70]

@thebestbestguyever They are the little wooden pegs that help hold the blade in the handle

Great video, very informative. I like the Katana used in this video can anyone please tell me the name of that sword?

[maroonefi84]

i love this guy!

[yusifabdalbarr87]

my question is..... if u have a tsuba that rattles alot.... how do u fix it...so it dosnt rattle anymore..

[hanzithaking]

@yusifabdalbarr87 you could take it of and grease the tang and fill the tsuba with some sort of glue or resin but remember to fill out the holes in the tang with wax or something

[MrNateman89]

awesome im 12 and am going to be ordering a katana and care kit from amazon.i love swords

[shinobiwarrior1990]

thank you for this video, i recently bought a musashi ninjato and it had a huge crack in the tsuka, the tsuba was too big, the ito wrap was very loos and the blade wasnt even straight, now im only going to buy swords from swordnarmory and will never buy another musashi sword again.

[michaelfannin]

@shinobiwarrior1990 real ninjato aren't straight

[shinobiwarrior1990]

@michaelfannin this isnt what i ment by straight. i ment that there was a large bend in the ha of the sword as if somone had slammed it into something hard with the edge of the ha instead of straight on. i have no idea how they got the sword into the saya because the saya actualy cracked when i pulled out the sword

[mickkidoTV]

nice. A++ gr8 4 ppl who backyard cut n JSA. (i dont own a 1 peg katana yet:( )

[1337blackone]

thank you so helpful

so many just sell swords you sell the artform of the sword

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

it's sort of important to use that tool to remove your mekugi, i used silly shitty tools and broke the shit out of them. i dig that big kashira and the sageyo cord is really nice looking.

[delta2131]

I'm glad master park told us about you guys. Great vid dudes, and I absolutely love your swords.

[asazeel]

that was very educational, but I would like to see other swords in the future. thanks

[mmacconn069]

Thank you, this video was informative.

I would have liked even more to see a few more examples of the types and extents of damage that could/would be seen on some swords that would make them unsafe. Examples of blade twist & chips, saya cracks and other similar things (like you showed with the tsuka). Those would be even more helpful.

Thanks again.
