A bit overweight but I love your video. I want to buy ninja sword I have already bought samurais Samurais Katana. I think that guy in vid could use some excercise.
you guys are total retards. the name cheness is the brand of sword not a fucin country. you guys are brainless. besides the word you sre looking for is chinese, you guys are too ignorant tol spell it right. do your homework you fucktards
lol. ok noob first of all it isnt chineese its japaneese Katana they are 90-100cm lont incl the handle grip. so u must rename ur videos to Japaneese Cutlery instead ;)
hmm i have an eye on cheness swords i was wondering whats the differences between those swords, i currently have one but its not the type of katana im looking for (too long and heavy), im searching for one that is lighter for iaido
Did you do any Martial Arts as Kenjutsu or Iado? Your techniques are good for power and line attacking, but I miss a bit defensive stance and speed control.
Cheness make beaters heavy duty abuse taking monosteel tanks. Ill admit they look amazing and perform amazing. Hanwei to me is more for looks. Like the orchid katana for example well detailed and extremely sharp like stupid sharp as the website says. I own the paper crane made by hanwei and it was well worth its price tag. I also own a cheness O-katana also worth its price tag lol
ive been reading about the cheness katanas and i came across a forum thread that talks about how the tsuka is cracked and/or the tang is very loose inside the core and that can aslo result in cracking is this true...if so is there any way to fix this problem?
SFI? :-) Long story, but the short answer is - the Cheness tsukas were originally the same as every other sub US$300 Katana (= not all that great). But the blades were excellent. They have since revised the design of the tsuka several times, but the old problems are parroted over there ad inifitum. Truth be told, they are now overbuilt..!
Yes it was SFI and I know I ask a lot of questions hope I'm not a bother....but so what your telling me is they fixed the problem and the tsuka are tight against the tang or even if they're not is it even a problem i should worry about?
and about the blade, my current sword is my first (high carbon steel, battle ready, full tang, ect.) and it scratches pretty easily and it has no fake hamon so I'm not worried about sanding out the scratches but does the Tenchi scratch easy too( did it scratch when you hit the stump) And if I sand it down will the hamon disappear?
It doesn't scratch easily (HRC in the low 50s), but sure - the stump leaves cosmetic marks on everything... (which is why it is not a recommended target). Polishing the sword you have will indeed remove the hamon, but you could have some fun making your own over the top, quite a fun project!
A cracked tsuka is always a problem. But they really don't happen much these days (I am sure they do happen sometimes, but definitely less than any other company in the same price range).
hey i have a good idea come out in a samurai get up and surprise the living crap out of the people that say other wise and plastic boat has a point but not the way i would have said it word on you stances and again surprise the crap out of these nay sayers "swords forever"
do you have a video that shows a torture test of the kaze like you have with the shura/tenchi? what are the cutting limits of the tenchi/shura (hardest thing you can cut without damage to the edge....minor scratches dont count.) i did watch through my fingers the video of O katana test against the steel barrel....is the shura/tenchi that durrable......and finally (i know theres alot just trying to get all the info i can) do both of the tenchi and shura come with the fake cosmetic hamon on them?
No torture tests of the Kaze as yet. Have privately conducted a test with a Tenchi/Shura in Shirasaya and it does better on the barrel than the O-Katana. And yes, all have a fake hamon on the monosteel swords - though it is pretty tastefully done. Hope this helps.
hi i have been to your site and read your reviews but im a lil stuck as to whether i shoud get the kaze for its superior edge and cutting abilities or the tenchi/shura for the durability so my main question is can the tenchi cut paper like the kaze can? unsuported and i doubt ill ever put my sword under the stress u do but what are the kaze's limits?
Short answer - no, the Tenchi isn't quite as keen as the Kaze. But much stronger. However, for normal cutting (i.e. Tatami, bamboo, etc) the difference in durability is not significant. You would really have to screw up cutting a normal target with the Kaze for it to take a set. But if you are concerned, I would go with one of the monosteels.
the form looked good but was missing speed while going from one strike to the other and when hitting the wood it looked like you put to much of your body weight into the swing instead of leverage.
1. My younger brother has taken my katana (rather a decoration, but quite sharp), he's hit a stone or sth similiar and kissaki is jagged now. What can I do with that, if I want to recover it earlier form?
2. It's rusty in few places. How can I get a rid of the rust? Typical, anti-corrosion things don't help at all.
they are great swords, I just got one, real nice, mine was the last of the san mai...sharper than shit, got two bandages to prove it, cleaning/polishing it last night.
Well, it certainly CAN. It all depends on the blade geometry and structural integrity though.
One guy over at My Armoury summed up my feelings on this by saying: "Figure I'd rather find out if a sword I don't instinctively trust (I trust some vendors more than others) is going to fail when I expect it might, instead of when I don't (as much as possible)."
A bit over the US$300 budget that Sword Buyers Guide reviews, but who knows - there are a lot more tests in stall in the future and comparing some 'higher ends' against these 'cheapies' would be a very interesting (though bloody expensive) exercise...
I own several of the Cheness blades and they do perform like that out of the box. I highly recommend the 9260 spring steel for any serious tameshigiri. They have out-cut many more expensive blades too!
And if you tried that on plate armour there woudn't be much left of the blade afterwards. That is why swords like katana would not have been useful in battle in medieval Europe or anywhere else where heavy armour was used.
well i dont know about plate but against chain mail the tenshi (the katana being tested.) it broke the mail (not cut it wasnt very clean) and it cun the slab of mean under it. but against armor i would think of using a o-katana (dai-katana, two handed katana,) or a hand and a half. or better yet something like a hammer or halberd that is meant for heavy armor. but for light to possible medium armor the katana will do rather well.
Cosmetic scratching yes. Damage - no. I've repeated that cut around 10 times with the same sword and the worst damage is the scratching (it's one very tough sword!)
Well, I wouldn't say that.. :-) At the time I was almost entirely 'self trained'. But I have started training properly around 2 months ago, so hopefully the next vid will be a little more 'traditional'.
Wow very nice. I love katanas there the best sword. I wanna see some1 do a movie that shows a european sword vs a katana in cutting things like jugs and that plant stuff.

2 questions about the katana.
1. My younger brother has taken my katana (rather a decoration, but quite sharp), he's hit a stone or sth similiar and kissaki is jagged now. What can I do with that, if I want to recover it earlier form?
2. It's rusty in few places. How can I get a rid of the rust? Typical, anti-corrosion things don't help at all.
Brother2314 4 years ago
I would recommend reshaping it with a file, then smoothing it off with some abrasive paper and then metal polish.
The metal polish will get rid of rust. So will products like CLR clear.
More info is avaialble on my site for cleaning, maintenance, etc. Hope this helps.
