@TheLoserKingdom Carbon steel. I can't afford to destroy tamahagane blades. Tamahagane, while beautiful, is outmatched by good high carbon steel and many of the hybrid steels.
@TheLoserKingdom Tamahagane is made out of iron sand. The resulting ore is folded to remove the remaining impurities. Modern steels are already pure and require no folding at all. 1095 bar stock that is unfolded will retain most of it's carbon. Folding would reduce the carbon count.
With my laminated line, I made the decision not to fold them, as I wanted the carbon count to be higher in the jacket steel. Lamination places different steel types in different areas.
I own a Ronin, Cold Steel, a few Hanwei, a Last Legend, and a few second hand katana. The Ronin has become my go-to cutter at home and class and is just a superb all around sword. I love mine.
please try a blade against leather in your next test ... please also zoom the camera out permantly so we can see whats happening ... the pics of the end result are perfect to see what has happened... im suprised the sword breaking when hit on the spine ... most tradtionalist teach to block with the spine to preserve the ha ... thank you interesting stuff
Brought a tear to my eye as well. This is SO impressive. In it's way this is every bit as cool and interesting as Cold Steels destruction testing videos.. Back when they were practically the only ones that had a video like that it made me wonder if their Warrior series katanas were the strongest. Now there's this. Ronin is known for quality, but it's cool to see it demonstrated! Now if only someone would try this with a DF Musha... lol
i recently bought a set of 3 katana's for £49 and after they arrived i took a look at them and found out that they were full tang and made from stainless steel so what do i do i take it outside and take a swing at my washing line............
now i need a new washing line
quality doesn't always mean big price tags or professionally made it just needs to be sturdy and fit for purpose
@erparom Sorry, channel ban. Try expressing your opinion without racist comments.

What are these swords made out of? Regular carbon steel or tamahagane?

@Roninkatanas Really? I didn't expect that. Though I though Tamahagane was a made out of high carbon steel with an inside of low carbon steel.

are they all traditionally made?

@choopdewoot Only $10,000+ swords forged in Japan are traditionally made. The Ronin elite line is about as close as it gets outside of Japan.
