you bad ass stupid motherfucker, did u knew that for testing a sword in old japan they putted a bunch of bodies 1 over another and depending on how many bodies the katana cut with 1 single move, that was the perfect way to determine a sword sharpness and power, u are a fool deepshiet, try cutting your balls so you can test your stupidity u asshole FU .I.
Too bad SBG doesn't respond to inquiries. I really wanted one of these when I first heard about them. I asked a good, relevent question and got no response so I bought somehting else. :(
Wow there are some stupid people leaving comments here. A katana does not have ceramic in it and yes T10 is way more durable then 1060. T10 is known as tool steal or high speed steel. He is testing for durability of the katana people and that's his job to do so. Oh and news flash a katana does not really have a soul, not really!
he's really asking for the nerd rage though by testing "beloved" katanas. kids are seeing swords that they beleive are able to cut through tank barrels get smashed up, and they just can't take the strain of their weeaboo fantasies being torn apart in front of them.
Yep, you are 100% right Beethovenvirus. If you are a master swordsman you strike with the sharp edge of the sword and block with the flat larger backside or dull side always trying to get the attackers sword to break or come so dull or badly chipped cracked etc. Depending on just how fast you are with that sword if you can turn it in time to block the attacking blade(s) sometimes you dont see the blocks unless their movement stops.
What is really the purpose of test torturing the katanas? Katanas should be taken with great care, not for quality test. Any katana is just as good as long as you know how to use it. Haters come at me.
Well, no, a katana of stainless steel is far inferior to one of t10 steel. Specifically, the stainless steel has been known to break on contact with any hard object, with the broken half occasionally embedding itself into the wielders body as it flies off.
There's a reason they call stainless steel swords 'wall-hangers'.
Even real samurai would test their blades; last thing you want in combat is a sword that breaks easily. Quality is important =)
pioneer in the sword breaking industry. Hey kirk, stop advertising your buddy. Hes a goof, we don't need swords. I'd sooner kill a man with my SOG Tomahawk before I draw a fucking queer's jap sword.
@snipeefox you would try and kill someone you horrible person. and if that person were to have a katana like this one, you would be dead before you could say "queer jap"
Some people believe that human can cut steel by using KATANA. (斬鉄)
But it is misunderstanding.
Great samurai and great sword can work miracles rarely. For example, 榊原 鍵吉(Kenkichi Sakakibara) cut in special steel helmet 11.5cm in front of Meiji Emperar(1887,11,11) .
Maybe most of peope can't do like him.
So I think we can say that we can not cut steel by using KATANA.
I wander what would happen if you killed a burglar with a sword. If you shot him, it would be ruled self defense but I wonder if the rules change if you kill one with a sword like this.
@MrMadmardin Both are deadly force. In both circumstances you "feared for your life and the safety of your family and took action to defend yourself and family", so I would say yes. Problem would come with the jury being a bunch of liberal milksops if you are unlucky.
Apparently the vast majority of YouTube viewers are basement dwelling illiterates that A. Cant read a video description and B. No little to nothing about swords or Tameshigiri. Paul does 'destructive testing' like this at the behest of both the manufacturers AND the end users. He does this to show that the sword can take an excessive amount of abuse thereby insuring that normal use wont result in catastrophic failure. Please go go back to your cartoons and action figures and let the adults talk.
@eldest201 what the hell are you talking about first off, no sorry just no, the katana is sharp from habuki to kissaki, and another thing where did you learn that a katana is only sharp at the tip. Do you mean the last 5 inches, yes that is the "Cutting" zone in a sense but that dosen't mean the sword is dull but to that point.
@toxi87 That guy is an idiot. Or simple a troll. I'm no expert, but as far as I recall the only catanas that have sharp tip and dull blade are those, that are used for kata practice. Just ignore that silly troll mate :)
@naruto2278 I'm sure it can, but thats what machete's are designed for. Katanas weren't. Katanas were designed to cut flesh and bone. Not wood. The fact that these Katanas can do just as well (if not better than) what a machete can do and go beyond what in the past would be unthinkable to do speaks for the durablility of these particular blades. Hence the title of the video. :)
There are some real schmucks on here. The title specifically states that this is a destructive test. The "idiot" in the video is Paul Southern who is a major player & pioneer in the sword industry. This video is to show you how much of a beating his custom made katanas can take. The goal of the video is to break the sword. He was testing a prototype from the forge. So to make a long story short, none of you douche taints know a 100th of what Paul does about swords! PS - Buy a T10 custom katana!
@kirk11977 well i do agree, but you dont have to call all of us douches because of that, because some people really do not know these facts. It was stupid of the downloader to name this video destructiveness of katana, because really, what is the point of smashing a sword against a barrel?
@kirk11977 Yeah, it made a nice clean cut on those sapplings, and split a block of wood(rotten though). The axe comparison was a fail; I won't even go into that one.
@ericC091987 said "who the hell has a bunch of steel drums behind there house"
Everyone know that steel drums is the best way to dispose of corps. Body fluid won't leak out and they can be rolled to move them. Traveling with load of steel drums is also less conspicuous then black body bags. Putting sewage or septic dig out on the first drums will also discourage opening of the remaining.
Do not fuck with anyone that has 'a bunch of steel drums behind there house'.
stupid idiot, Those swords isn't meant for everything. Just because they can cut woods, water bottles, or any other things doesn't mean they can cut metal barrel without destroying the sword itself. use common sense please, both object is made of metal. one is shape for cutting and one is shape for storing things.
@AndyDude1412 the label says "DESTRUCTTIVE test" he is showing how hard you would have to hit the sword to break it. and I doubt that most people test on metal barrels so that is a good test.
Dear basement samurais: please stop rambling on about how this man is debasing GLORIOUS NIPPON KATANAS and read up. This is for a review. He's destroying them on purpose, to test just how much a certain line of (typically cheap-end, amateur collector level) swords can take before giving. He's hacking a steel barrel like a brute on purpose.
Basically, if a sword holds up well enough, this is where the real level of workmanship is tested. It's meant to break and get damaged, it's just about when.
All of you spouting off about how Paul is misusing the sword, are missing the point. This was deliberately destructive testing in order to determine what it takes to damage or ruin the blade - it was INTENDED to go far beyond appropriate use. As for all these comments about that not being a "real" katana, come off your high-horses. A Cheness katana made from T-10 spring steel is a razor-sharp piece of weaponry, made with far better tolerances than 99.5% of traditional blades.
@Beethovenvirus wrong, that metal isn't strong enough, true samurai swords get tiny chips from blocking making them more deadly serated edged blades. tool steal is hard enough but how many times was it folded?
@Me102288 from what i understand, folding was used to distribute carbon in tamahagane, the iron they smelted from riverbed ore. modern steels do not need to be folded, and are done for, either aesthetics such as celtic patternwelded swords, or just for the plain fact so i can be called "traditionaly" forged. this is if you are using a modern steel of course.
@frozenwalkway You dont block with the flat in both of those, european or japanese. In european longsword you use your false edge against opponents flat, pushing or binding the sword, with katana or any single edged you use the true edge. If you block edge to edge, your blade WILL dent, dents are nearly impossible to remove without thinning the blade and dents cause very, very small fractures in blade that weaken it over times. I'm sorry that my english isn't superb, it's my second language. :)
@frozenwalkway Also if I am not completely wrong, japanese used stockpiles of swords in battles because metal was so soft that against chain they dented footman's blade or got bent and after skrimish they'd bring broken ones to the quatermaster in exchange for new one?
@welbhloud folding the traditional way to make a katana the blades folded a number of times it causes the softer metal to migrate into the middle of the blade and the harder to stay on the outside hence the blade is flexable but still sharp
That sword has to be a replica of an original designed and made katana, a metal barrel wouldn't never chip the blade, maybe scratch it but not chip, And these tests are not for a katana, maybe a cheap piece of metal cut and shaped like a sword, but never ever a katana.
THAT REALLY IS NOT A ORIGINAL SWORD! And you have no idea to use it! Just hand it to a master....after you buy a new one, because that one...you had wrecked it!
@protoneClub Hmm, couldn't catch a good view to see that. But in every case Katanas are among the thickest swords throughout the world. I don't know exactly why, maybe their method of using different steels made it necessary (sandwich-method), but the result is a blade which is quite heavy for its shortness. And that's why the greater longsword for example has around the same weight because its around half that thick. My personal genuine swords are: Katana 4-8,5mm thick, longsword 2,5-4mm thick
@froliciouspanda When you purchase a handmade Katana you pay for the enormous craftmansship behind it, and you can be proud of possessing a work of art... But unfortunately you can't say it is better. It is even probable that it is inferior because a laminated, folded blade has impurities and may have welding failures. This depends on the capacities of the swordsmith, but a well tempered blade of the right modern steel is probably superior...
@froliciouspanda True, you didn't. But your answer to ''mydoghasflees'' gave the impression you agreed that a hand made sword would be better. But my english isn't that good, so i apologize if i misunderstood you :-)
@bebis101 Actually if you look at it in that still picture at the beginning, the hamon is clearly visible. 440 stainless wallhangers with traditional-looking koshirae usually have very short tangs and flimsy plastic tsuka to match. Were this one of those, it would've broken at the tsuba. As the name would suggest, the one in this video is made of T-10 high carbon steel of an unspecified carbon content without any of the traditional folding of tamahagane. Might be monotempered, might not.
Listen up folks. A kitana is just a bastrd swod wth a good PR campaign. In time of war, the quality of them went down as demand went up, and only those made by master swordsmiths were of the legendary quality we like to think about. The rest were probably cheap to average quality
The true value of martial arts is the discipline, respect and understanding of the self. The sword is only but a manifestation of yourself, useless without the mind body
@xacezkillzx bro bacon the blade can always be fixed i mean damn the first hit was sick it cut throw the rim where the axe bounced off you should be proud of that sword
@Bidmartinlo More to do with the geometry of the blade, what it's made to cut through, etc. A steak knife and a scalpel will have different properties.
In this case the sword is not quite "traditional" in its construction, lacking lamination, folding (though this is no longer quite as necessary thanks to modern steels) and being made of T10. The technique of the swordsman also matters.
Good sir, it is my informed belief that your general statement is unfounded based on these and other factors.
Well as you can plainly see, the katana cut the steel drum, however it damaged the blade, the metal, and the polish. Let's do it again. Way to go dumbass.
dude, the SBG designed these swords, he reviews them. this is a very good sword, and he just wanted to show that it could remain fairly unscathed for moderate cutting, the barrel was to show that unless your name is Ichigo Kurosaki then you pro'lly won't break this sword. i have one, but i tested it out on several deer necks. they are a more "traditional" material than tatami mats, since i couldnt find any willing victims err- i mean volunteers to test it out.
Nice Test. I am probably not going to go around barrel killing anytime soon though. I did the same thing with the trees around my house with my $13 machete so I guess I am going to just keep my money and get a sword later.
to make the best usage of the sword, concentrate your spiritual energi into the sword, and cut. maybe you should train to make your sword to have even deadlier, and give it a name :)
you bad ass stupid motherfucker, did u knew that for testing a sword in old japan they putted a bunch of bodies 1 over another and depending on how many bodies the katana cut with 1 single move, that was the perfect way to determine a sword sharpness and power, u are a fool deepshiet, try cutting your balls so you can test your stupidity u asshole FU .I.

@Beethovenvirus wrong, that metal isn't strong enough, true samurai swords get tiny chips from blocking making them more deadly serated edged blades. tool steal is hard enough but how many times was it folded?

And I didn't mean it was a bad sword, I meant its not a traditional samurai sword.
Me102288 11 months ago
@Me102288 "terrible form, you do not hack with these swords" wrong video to comment on
"metal isn't strong enough" you mean hard? it has a lower rockwell hardness so it wont chip
"making them more deadly serated edged blades" serrated.... and thats just retarded
i know how real samurai swords are made. and no shit. thats been said by everyone, i dont know where you fell off the bandwagon
bobjoemagee 11 months ago
@Me102288 from what i understand, folding was used to distribute carbon in tamahagane, the iron they smelted from riverbed ore. modern steels do not need to be folded, and are done for, either aesthetics such as celtic patternwelded swords, or just for the plain fact so i can be called "traditionaly" forged. this is if you are using a modern steel of course.

@Beethovenvirus i know in european longsword fighting blocking with the flat is used, is it used in japanese dueling?
frozenwalkway 11 months ago
@frozenwalkway You dont block with the flat in both of those, european or japanese. In european longsword you use your false edge against opponents flat, pushing or binding the sword, with katana or any single edged you use the true edge. If you block edge to edge, your blade WILL dent, dents are nearly impossible to remove without thinning the blade and dents cause very, very small fractures in blade that weaken it over times. I'm sorry that my english isn't superb, it's my second language. :)
Beethovenvirus 11 months ago
@frozenwalkway Also if I am not completely wrong, japanese used stockpiles of swords in battles because metal was so soft that against chain they dented footman's blade or got bent and after skrimish they'd bring broken ones to the quatermaster in exchange for new one?

@baddmint you are kidding right? can you please explain to me, what do you mean by that folded term?
welbhloud 1 year ago
@welbhloud folding the traditional way to make a katana the blades folded a number of times it causes the softer metal to migrate into the middle of the blade and the harder to stay on the outside hence the blade is flexable but still sharp
baddmint 11 months ago
That sword has to be a replica of an original designed and made katana, a metal barrel wouldn't never chip the blade, maybe scratch it but not chip, And these tests are not for a katana, maybe a cheap piece of metal cut and shaped like a sword, but never ever a katana.

@froliciouspanda true... it is too thick to be real
protoneClub 1 year ago
@protoneClub Hmm, couldn't catch a good view to see that. But in every case Katanas are among the thickest swords throughout the world. I don't know exactly why, maybe their method of using different steels made it necessary (sandwich-method), but the result is a blade which is quite heavy for its shortness. And that's why the greater longsword for example has around the same weight because its around half that thick. My personal genuine swords are: Katana 4-8,5mm thick, longsword 2,5-4mm thick
Railriderchris 1 year ago
@froliciouspanda When you purchase a handmade Katana you pay for the enormous craftmansship behind it, and you can be proud of possessing a work of art... But unfortunately you can't say it is better. It is even probable that it is inferior because a laminated, folded blade has impurities and may have welding failures. This depends on the capacities of the swordsmith, but a well tempered blade of the right modern steel is probably superior...

@bebis101 Actually if you look at it in that still picture at the beginning, the hamon is clearly visible. 440 stainless wallhangers with traditional-looking koshirae usually have very short tangs and flimsy plastic tsuka to match. Were this one of those, it would've broken at the tsuba. As the name would suggest, the one in this video is made of T-10 high carbon steel of an unspecified carbon content without any of the traditional folding of tamahagane. Might be monotempered, might not.
ZrazorRozenstrauch 1 year ago
Listen up folks. A kitana is just a bastrd swod wth a good PR campaign. In time of war, the quality of them went down as demand went up, and only those made by master swordsmiths were of the legendary quality we like to think about. The rest were probably cheap to average quality

Bidmartinlo 1 year ago
@Bidmartinlo More to do with the geometry of the blade, what it's made to cut through, etc. A steak knife and a scalpel will have different properties.
In this case the sword is not quite "traditional" in its construction, lacking lamination, folding (though this is no longer quite as necessary thanks to modern steels) and being made of T10. The technique of the swordsman also matters.
Good sir, it is my informed belief that your general statement is unfounded based on these and other factors.

Well as you can plainly see, the katana cut the steel drum, however it damaged the blade, the metal, and the polish. Let's do it again. Way to go dumbass.

dude, the SBG designed these swords, he reviews them. this is a very good sword, and he just wanted to show that it could remain fairly unscathed for moderate cutting, the barrel was to show that unless your name is Ichigo Kurosaki then you pro'lly won't break this sword. i have one, but i tested it out on several deer necks. they are a more "traditional" material than tatami mats, since i couldnt find any willing victims err- i mean volunteers to test it out.
