Paul invest in a better camera mate!

heh, im doing an assignment on worlds best swords, can u give me any tips?

[SwordBuyersGuide]

Yeah, I have a better one now.. XD.

Tips on the best sword eh? Hmm, try googling 'Wootz Nano' and you'll see what may possibly be the best historical swords ever (made in a way that even with out current technology, we cannot replicate). And no, they ain't Katana..! ;-)

I ordered a Kaze Katana and mine arrived dull/blunt right out of the box, it wouldn't cut anything and Paul Chen from Cheness left me hanging with a lot of bullshit, but i never got a new sharp sword. You better save up your money and go for the real deal, Don't buy this chinese piece of shit!

[SwordBuyersGuide]

That doesn't sound right... What exactly did he say?

I thought it might be a good idea for me to leave some constructive criticism. Forget everyone else, there is no "right" way to do anything, just recommended ways. My recommendation to both of you is to hold your left hand towards the bottom of the handle. Katanas are designed for a push/pull effect with your hands. Which allow you to rid yourself of unnecessary motion, and make you less tired.  Hacking away at things is great with something along the lines of a Machete! but just have fun! ^^

[SwordBuyersGuide]

Thanks Jape. :-) A refreshing post, and some good insight - appreciated.

Tenchi. The steel is the same, but the heat-treatment is different.

[DarkLawify]

I'm sorry but these guys have no idea on 'Japanese' cutting. True, I found this video on their other site which spoke on, and critiqued European swords, but the two don't mix.

The two styles don't share the same cutting technique.

Where do you get the tatami mats? Are they well priced?

[stoner4010]

Excuse me - are you going to buy me a NEW welcome mat?

[vasilijerajovic]

That's the sword I plan to buy. The only problem is the way you swing it. It's not an axe, or machete. Your wrong swing causes it to make so much noise.

[OOFUJISAN]

the cut dang comes from the hips! use the hips!

[killingcommando]

where can u buy these mats to cut? and how much r they?

[swordoflucifer6]

I like the kaze katana, not only cuz it has a very beautiful hamon but also because of the way it is forged- it follows a more traditional method of construction. I know that the steel isnt quite as durable as a through hardened sword, but its strong enough, especially considering that I wouldnt use it for frequent cutting of hard targets anyway. I have always found it more convenient to cut softer things like pool noodles as theyre easier to come by and easier on a blade than rolled tatami...
