Odachi Destructive test

[jalobeaulieu1]

Im only 19 but i have been working for 6 years

[HELLZONE7745]

@jalobeaulieu1 nice im lazy, il be in the army sometime before 2013.

[jalobeaulieu1]

I have a thaistuki dokuji nami katana that i have, its one of the best for everything its super sharp and no cheapie its of heirloom quality and is completley functional

[HELLZONE7745]

@jalobeaulieu1 WELL DAYYUM. my collection will be of that quality when im older. i cant make that kind of money atm lol, would love to have swords like that in the future.

[jalobeaulieu1]

Is it worth it to buy and shorten

[HELLZONE7745]

@jalobeaulieu1 no lol, its a wall piece. it has little to no practical use. spend your 80 dollars on a good sword. preferable musashi, musashi makes high quality cheap swords. check treuswords website for musashi swords. if you want a good usable odashi your looking at a 160+ dollar sword.

[HELLZONE7745]

@jalobeaulieu1

check out this sword

(Musashi - 1060 Carbon Steel - Clay Tempered Samurai Sword)

80 dollars, clay tempered not water quenched like cheap swords,55 HRC is really nice, 1060 blade perfect. you can do HEAVY cutting with this blade, well beyond tamashigiri mats. musashi makes the best swords for a low budget buyer.

[HELLZONE7745]

@HELLZONE7745 id post a link but just go to trueswords website and search it or go to price search and find the 80$ swords

[hirodagger]

@jalobeaulieu1 go to ryanswordDOTcom and you can find odachi for under $100, very good quality also

[jalobeaulieu1]

And no video? Hmmm

[HELLZONE7745]

@jalobeaulieu1 yeah i gave it to a friend for his birthday yesterday and we destroyed it. sorry no video

[jalobeaulieu1]

You couldnt find a more rotten block of wood.

[HELLZONE7745]

@jalobeaulieu1 i completely destroyed the odachi yesterday its angle is gone and its bent beyond a 90 degree angle, its gone.

[hallermannpeter]

Why does everyone that swing a nodachi and odachi leave so much opening! i can't understand them (and will never)

[HELLZONE7745]

@hallermannpeter im just having fun, i wouldnt swing like a tard in combat, further more. id never use this in combat. its to big.

[erikbeman]

use a tameshigiri mat if you are going to cut something

[erikbeman]

by the way the "pegs" or mekugi are usually and indicator of an actual weapon, this thing is fake, as are you fake, please do not shame the art like so many of these other posters who do not know the art

[erikbeman]

slips his grip and drops the thing on his leg

[feipimp]

haha this guy has no clue wtf his doing

and at 1:19 wtf was he doing

[Einarr1989]

Why are you using a sword against wood? It was never designed for that purpose so testing its quality in this way is meaningless.

[HELLZONE7745]

@Einarr1989 well i dont have orse legs or human flesh, i mean i could . . . but that wouldnt be good

[Einarr1989]

@HELLZONE7745 It's a good way to damage your sword if you hit too hard, that's all I'm saying. You could get a leg of lamb and set up - cutting through flesh and bone is a good way to test it.

[HELLZONE7745]

@Einarr1989 its a 80 dollar sword. i really dont care what happens to it

[papatruman]

Moją starą siekierą rozrąbałbym ten klocek pierwszym ciosem, chociaż tępa jest jak ten gościu nie wiedzący do czego TAK NAPRAWDĘ służy taki odachi...

[edwar101]

forget the tanto im gonna break out my katana

[RYUNOMI13TADEH]

use your odachi and I'll use my tanto.. lets have a duel till our last breath... :p

[spartan5689]

its ODACHI not nodachi cosm2os

[spartan5689]

its ODACHI not nodachi

[HELLZONE7745]

@spartan5689

basically the same thing, as i believe the odachi was used on horse back and the nodachi was used on foot to take down the cavalry. they are the pretty much the same, no real differences. so it doesn't matter which he calls it:)

[pwnyomoma]

@HELLZONE7745 The nodachi had a much longer tsuka than the odachi, the odachi had a shorter tsuka with a long blade, other than that basically same thing for different techniques.

[chungga94]

@HELLZONE7745

from what I heard, odachi (great sword) were ceremonial swords and nodachi (field sword) were used for anti-cavalry field combat

[alanAB100]

@chungga94 in truth, neither were actually used much, and nodachi were often used as offerings to dieties.

[EddieCubillo]

I'm so jealous of where you live, I wish I was right next to a lake.

[HELLZONE7745]

@EddieCubillo its a river, the nuese river. its constantly filled with pig shit and its generally nasty. lol i dont swim in it much

[KitsuneKun8]

I wonder how long the tang in that thing is. o.o

[HELLZONE7745]

@KitsuneKun8 the tang goes 10 inches into the handle .. . thats decent,but no peggs so theres just glue holding it in. i could drill and put peggs in but that would be a pain..

[cosm2os]

hey friends!

now i think what to buy. the sword from this video. or nodachi from ryanswords.

That blade seems good. I want big one.

But enough it sharp or not? HELLZONE i saw your vid with bottle cutting. Its seems to go nice.

[HELLZONE7745]

@cosm2os

the factory edge is pretty sharp, culd use a little sharpening though.

the sharpness of a blade can be fixed easily . .. the quality of the blade cannot.

you want to buy swords with good quality not sharpness . . because you can fix sharpness in 20minutes or less.

[MonoxideChild1219]

Hahaha, I stand corrected.

[xxwes997xx]

impressive. i own a ryanswords nodachi its the most ungoldy sharp sword ive ever seen. crazy sharp. and a monster to wield. it has a smaller handle than yours, which i like cuz its less like a polearm and more like a sword.
