9260 Samurai Sword Cutting Tree Branch

[blugularis]

don't treat a blade like that!

[Kirzen]

@johncobb1972

Sure, provided that you have a -serious- flaw in the steel of the machete, you could break it... you could also break an anvil or a large rock if it has a serious structural flaw. In no way is a katana more "reliable" than a machete.

[KrimzonKnight01]

i can do that with a machete. and its alot cheaper...

[Patchumz]

Would be nice to see what this swords can cut with proper form including a two-handed slash. Should be able to cut things far more difficult.

[Saavykaas]

Guys, it's a little video to demonstrate a dojo cutter lopping off a tree branch a few times. It's not a high-ranking sensei demonstrating cutting form, lay off the guy.

[nachojr456]

dang

[sweYoda]

cool, just like crysis

[longboardskater7]

@sweYoda What the hell?

[anthonymagnuson]

im just saying dude i have seen this swice and i just found out.. look at your face if you really knew how to use the sword you would not use that much energy just to cut a little branch

[linkfanatic13579]

...he can't really cut right while the target is in his hand and hes using the katana one handed...

[willem01]

wauw!..; does the exact same thing as a machete!!

...

[anthonymagnuson]

who wears fucking sandals are you gay or you just a faget

[roguenoobkiller]

the samurai wore sandals FAGET

[check34r]

flip flops

[willem01]

both!

[dannyboy11490]

lol are you gay or just a fagget...you're a fucking retard. they are the same thing you dick.

[tomfunfun0530]

can a sword kill you instantly like it does in movies just wanted to know

[Galanothnorge]

If it chops your head in half, I would say that it kills you insstantly yes.

[GotDaHoodOnLocYo]

@Galanothnorge

STOP FRONTING

DAT AINT RIGHT

EVA SEE A CHIKEN

DUAH

U AINT KNOW

[D3ATH222]

yes, if it severs the spine-destroying the central nerves system. Katanas can do this, along with some other swords. However, most kills with a sword take longer, and are a result of bleeding out.

[willem01]

if you launch it from a rocket launcher!?...

[clos19851]

Will u do my yard work??

[Mokuxa]

YEAHHHHHHHH

NOW IN YOUR HAND.

[Dreyfus03]

wow!!

i need to borrow that sword.......for some "lawn work" ha ha ha

[Joel12965]

Yes they can.. a Katana made right with the right handler can cut through 3 bodies.

[Ranziel1]

A katana can't cut through a torso, no sword can. Samurais were testing their swords on prisoners, but they were cutting through their necks.

[Minothor]

actually the sought-after perfect cut was from bewteen left shoulder and neck down to the right of the waist leaving about 2cm of flesh attatching the two halves at the side.

[Megafest7]

Yes, swords can cut through torsos, katanas better than most. I wonder who gave you that false information.

[gothkid287]

Wrong! I have seen a 2 handed sword cleave a deer completly in half!

[dmatrix5]

Idiot. Is that how you treat a Samurai Sword!!!! That should be representing your soul. Is that how you treat your soul?

[jellybeanguitarist]

agreed!!

maybe he DOES treat his soul that way XD

[AcomsRazor1776]

you do realize that this particular sword was made in less than a week in a sweat shop in china dont you. Areal Katana takes months to complete!

[aswweqfsaz]

Oh really and you could afford a real Katana could you? at least this guys got a real sword that can cut things!

[AcomsRazor1776]

Real sword Yes! Real Katana, No! And by the way I do in fact have an authentic Edo period Katana. Passed Down through 5 Generations. I wouldn't care about using a fake Katana to do soemthing like this but no one in their right sane mind would ever do this to a real one. Tree sap is much stickier than blood and will rust the blade, annd if this guy is using hiw "katana" to cut a tree branch then im pretty damn sure he doesn't give a shit about cleaning it properly!

[Shadowslic3r]

your an idiot, lol.

[Leniciso]

Acom. You got douche written all over you.

[jefallijay]

there only like 600 bucks

[Creationsofmyown]

less than 300 nice try tho

[sidoth23]

I am glad you have the time to sit out in your backyard and chop up small branches with your sword...

very impressive!

[hellomate639]

GREAT. Katanas are supposed to cut three torsos in half when they're sharp. You should be able to gently glide through those branches if the katana is any good.

[aspie101]

Machetes can do the same thing as long as you keep them sharp.

[longboardskater7]

@aspie101 A machete isn't as reliable as a japanese katana, though. Machetes break a lot easier, among other things.

[Kirzen]

@longboardskater7

Machete's don't break, period.

You have about the same chance of breaking a machete as you have of breaking an axe, you can open tin cans full of soup with a fucking machete if you have a good one.

[longboardskater7]

@Kirzen Machetes don't break? Right, and guns don't run out of ammo. And slicing open a tin can full of soap isn't hard. -.- Btw, I have seen an axe break before. It was a good one, too. I live on a farm, so you see people using axes all the time.

[zenaku85]

@aspie101 True, but not clean cuts

[LauranceCWright]

I can't wait tell he cuts his hand off.

[destructionfun1]

he stumbled! ha ha ha!!

[Dinomasic666]

if u dont hold and use katana properly there will be manny nasty injuries , mostly crippled or chopped off limbs

[Artyrik21]

Is it possible to get a quality katana shipped to Australia or NZ? thanks, please reply directly

[SwordBuyersGuide]

PM sent

[beth96x]

wow some cute guys in here!! lol. im SO horny!! j

[JimDanjello]

What a sword slashing nerd, get a life Numbnuts. Stop spamming my videos or else!

[156TYSON]

dont get 440 i tried that with my 440 stainless steel katana and the blade bent they are garbage

[mylilgymsock1]

dude, if u cut it at a like 16degree angle from the branch on four sides, you could make a pretty decent javalin.

[MetalThor777]

true they have traditional names and koobii is out of line with his mouth.

[zh001d]

reminds me of those kitchen knife info-mercials on tv. don't hurt youself, guy.

[SwordBuyersGuide]

I try not too! (It wasn't not as close to my hands as it looks...)

[biohax]

i bet you one million internets it's more known as a samurai sword than a katana asshole. just like how wakizashis are also known as honor blades.

[tersheytunnel]

While that maybe true, lets stick with the names the creators gave them, although I don't think it warrents language like what koobii is spiting out.

[FullmetalJimmy]

I agree with you.

[czerwonymike]

pretty weak tree branch, i tried that with my Kaze on a aspen branch and it bounced...

[SwordBuyersGuide]

I'm not surprised, aspen is pretty hard - and Katana weren't really designed to cut hardwood trees... The structure is so different than human flesh and bone of course, which is their ORIGINAL intended targets...

[OwndSlayer]

technically, its just hard wood, not a hardwood tree, but nice, clean slices. good job there.

[Zenodilodon]

The more important difference is dead or alive wood. When alive the wood is softer and acts lubricated on cuts, dead wood has grains thats are solid and hard to cut by comparison.

[CycoYoshi]

still it was a clean cut

[SwordBuyersGuide]

The last part is the carbon content (.60% carbon), same as a 1060 carbon steel (ala Cold Steel). The first part designates the silicon alloy, which gives it its ability to spring back to true.

[mysticdx]

just buyed the sword the tenchi from the sbg site.i like the free shipping to

[gunitgaurilla50]

haha some people dont understand these destructive testings.. anyways, that tenchi goes through woods like butter!

[mmeyers228]

ok i don't know why you would perform a "destructive test" but what ever the blade is made of doesn't matter, a tree branch will dull any blade with ease (unless it's cerated, which I'm pretty sure it's not)

[SwordBuyersGuide]

Destructive tests are actually quite useful. For example, there are numerous reports of the Hanwei PPK snapping in half cutting TATAMI or Bamboo. A test like this accelerates any potential flaws to see if there are any problems like that in these swords.

[mmeyers228]

do you have any respect for your katana? you are ruining your blade by doing that you ignoramus. if you are going to practice, first learn how to weild a sword and second use tatami

[SwordBuyersGuide]

These are destructive tests for the purpose of determining the blades durability and should not be taken out of context of what is embedded on my site. As it is a though hardened 9260 Spring Steel Katana, these tests are NOT damaging. Thanks.

[SwordBuyersGuide]

lol. It probably doesn't make sense by itself. But in the context of it being embedded on my site, it has its use...

[shanethemainman]

wtf
