All i read in chat is, bla bla bla i know about swords too cuzz i just googled about them, bla bla bla i watch naruto and sasuke weilds it differently, bla bla bla i know much more than you, you suck paul.

And for all the ones who really know what they are talking about <----sword nerd(me), yes he isn't weilding the sword 100% correctly, yes the angle of the cut is still ok, thus valid.

Its his job, he does this for breakfast. If he wants to do it properly....he will

@TobyW1996 Exactly, this is a Ninjato, but I was not directly referencing this video, I was generally stating I hate it when people Buy any type of weapon that even slightly resembles a Katana, or Ninjato or any other asian weapon and refer to it as "Ninja Sword". The weapons obviously have names, and the ones marketed as "Ninja swords" are peices of crap without the need to review them.

@Blessthefall245 a katana is curved you dick

@aj863

Could be worse. Some swords in that price range are a single piece sword...

Until they aren't. XD

@Da1RiSiN1sMoKe No, they don't play with haha sorry, but in thier Kata, it is a big thing:)) and yeah lol true.

@Blessthefall245 I think in this case the sword he is demonstrating is a straight bladed single piece sword, sold around £20, and sold as "ninja sword."

[aj863]

@QuietGuitaristfan lol. in this case I believe they are made from either mild steel or a cheap stainless variant. Both are low (or no) carbon, ie not brittle, in the case of mild steel (contains carbon) the hardness and toughness are variable via heat treating, so shouldn't shatter or snap. Though in this case I would guess it is made of a cheap stainless. As for comparison to the samurais' katana, they are incomparable.

@aj863 It all depends on metal it is mad of. For example, The katanas wielded by the Samurai were brittle and broke against leather armor. It also depends on tang and style of sword

@fastitslol the powder is actually supposed to be whetstone shavings, so therefore sandstone or similar, but it is available typically from sword websites/ebay, but really you don't need much. I use it on 5 swords and have yet to see a noticeable decrease in the amount in the powder ball I dust the blades down with. only a dot every 6-8 inches.
