Hi I saw many videos of you cutting with different katanas and i was wondering What is your opinion about this katanas cutting and handling compared to cheness katanas?
I havent tried either and am about to buy my very first katana (hoping it will be my last too) and i am not sure about what to get however on the high end i like the bushido :) (does it have a real hamon by the way?)
@icyberia I c thanks, its cuz i heard of the spring steel cheness use is really good for cutting :)
Btw was wondering if you have tried the new high alloy katans by hanwei? was wondering about them too but i havent been able to find anything about them
I dont like their design but the blades seem really strong and i can get them right now for less than bushido, but i dont know if i should sacrifice the look for the power :|
@Okarkar yea the 9260 spring steel is strong but it doesnt hold an edge very well, so if you intend to cut anthing besides water bottles I really suggest not using any 9260 steel, something you should check out is T10 steel.
I havent had any expericne with the new "high alloy steel" blades. it looks like their using there own designation for the type of steel HWS-2S.
I laughed when that last cut sent it flying, but that cut isn't that great on lighter targets. Anyways, the Bushido has to be my favorite of the classic series (second only to the Tiger Elite, though I'm far more fond of the Sokueto Hondachi from Thaitsuki), so it's cool to see some cutting done with it.
My neighbor cut down a bush/small tree and its branches are kinda like Weeping Willow Tree branches, so I cut'em to length and lashed 4/5 together. at the time they were still very green and plenty soft.
thanx man! yea that last one was really hard to put on so I thought it might hold. I kinda did a double take on that one lol. I didnt even notice till I watched it just now
I have the Kami by Hanwei, and have been eying the Bushido. Very sleek blade. I like the brown theme

@Okarkar bushido vs cheness is no contest. cheness has always had horrible quality issues. bushido is worth every penny.
yes it does have a real hamon and it is differentially tempered.

Nice... I really like this Katana... If I had the money I'd buy the Daisho and the tanto... lol... ahh if only.
Right now I'm using the practical plus.

@Aikidopoi the tanto is gold plated over wood. the gold can and will wear off.

@icyberia oh really? I had heard it was a little flash... but wow. I guess I'd just want that Daisho then.
Aikidopoi 1 year ago
awesome, did you get it recently? I dont like the way they are making the tanto now a days. to much gold.
icyberia 2 years ago
Nah, i agree, the tanto is too much "blingbling" :) ive had it for about 7 months now. very pleased with it :)

That is an excellent idea and probably a challenging cut to make, Thanks for sharing.

what is it that your cutting? It looks very dry do they scratch your katana? nice form bro.
jamesdoueihi 3 years ago
I dont know what kind of bush/plant it is, but its very green so its pretty soft. it worked great!
and there was no scratching,

What do you think of the Bushido?

I love the bushido, its the best sword I've got. I've never had a single issue with it.
