[globalgear]

They are Very real as you can see in this Video with one of the G-900 swords

Wait... He is an instructor... for what? Surely not for Tameshigiri. Watching this really sounded off some alarms for me. The stances and cuts are totally wrong, sometimes even dangerous. Show beginners how to hold a sword and how to cut BEFORE letting them practice with live blades. And why is the camera man standing beside(!) beginners who are doing their first cuts? This is more atutorial about how not to do Tameshigiri. Safety first! Swords are no toys.

That kid is very tense when he made the slice, you can tell by the elbows bowing in. But a nice clean cut though, little more practice and it'd be perfect

Do these guys know which way verticle is?

"I will now do a verticle cut."

...Proceeds to do a horizontal cut.

I wish someone could do a test to destruction on a few of these Katanas from the 200 to 300 dollar range that are on the market ,cutting mats proves its sharp thats all, a cheap $50 stainless katana can cut these mats as long as your carefull with it, this proves jack shit....Does anyone know of any test to destruction on Hanwei blades or Cheness etc......

Oh and wizz, global will ship worldwide at reasonable rates, it just happens that I live close to their Knox store.

If you see something you like, just order online.

New video should also come on soon with the pirate cutlass (needs good technique but will cut as it's quite sharp) and Sakura V2

Gasdorf - Don't know where you bought it but if it was thru global, you should be able to get similar results.

gaurdian - I know...too much upper body. I don't do my iaido that way. should improve with more cutting. this was really our first go at it.

James- there's something neat to me about doing it in the traditional manner.

wizzbang - YOU DON"T LIKE MY STAND! I'm proud of that modular thing. Cuts half mats, full mats both horizontally and vertically. Put it together myself as well.
