Do not confuse "show blades" with battle blades. Super sharp show blades have extremely thin edges, with a edge bevel around 10-20 degrees. They can slice paper, tatami, newspaper and other stuff like a scalpel but would render themselves utterly useless on battlefield. The one in this vid is obviously made with traditional battle edge around 25-30° edge. Enough to shave forearm hairs, slicing living things with ease, but not indended for modern flashy show features.
@Protherium Like I said, I smith knifes myself and I always sharpen them on 30° and they can slice paper, hairs and other stuff very easyly, but also stay sharp. That's not a problem, it's just about the hardening process, which is very delicate and needs a lot of time/knowledge/experience. Best regards
@Xiras1985 30 degrees? how does that affect the knives durability? i use 45 degrees for my bevels so that they make the blades center stronger and more resistant to damage.

Um that's very sharp. But how about you upload a video of the sword you made and how sharp it is?

@monkeyladagain The cut isn't anywhere clean. It isn't sharp. And why should I prove something everyone can see? Btw I only smith knifes.

@Breathor Well, had no problems with durability so far. I honestly never tryed 45, but I don't think it is necessary.
