Showing both the strengths and weaknesses of the $80 Musashi Swords 'Bamboo' Katana. Not bad for $80, and good for most backyard cutting targets, but not truly 'martial arts grade' either..

  • @PeterParkerisded Trees are my favorite target. Fun. Plus they had been looking at me funny.

  • @PeterParkerisded i do have a $300 shrine sword from handmadeswords. that has only one purpose, the cheap model is what i use to get used to the real sword. I just wasnt learning with bokken.

  • @PeterParkerisded And its an $80 sword, hell yeah i practice on maple and bamboo, its a cheap CUTTING sword. You can shame me when its a $700 sword.

  • @PeterParkerisded i mean really, what the hell else are you going to practice on? This just baffles me that i prepare a proper bamboo target in place of tatami, prepared to the hardness of a wristbone, and i get called an idiot? Or did you ASSUME that the bamboo was cut fresh? And by the way, bamboo isnt a damn tree, its a breed of grass. If you going to call me a retard, dont start your insult with a false statement. Maybe do a little self reflection on that "idiot" comment.

  • @PeterParkerisded Well come on over, we'll see how well it works on its intended purpose. Are you serious? You must be a psycho to think that someone should practice on PEOPLE! Cause thats what the katana was designed for . Bamboo and tatami are common cutting targets for a sword. I mean honestly, do you even know about the martial arts world? Tell you what, you stick to practicing on your neighbors, i'll stick to properly prepared targets.

  • i like how you are "NOT" biased. great review

  • @WhitePureTrue Life look good from your highhorse? Its called training, trial and error. Nowadays my sword has gone through countless cuts, mostly through 10 inches of bamboo with perfect cuts each time, with a repetition of 4 cuts in 1 second. Martial arts is marred by you arrogant shits putting down people who are beginning. I'm an axe user by heart. Anyways, enjoy your highhorse, i'm sure you are a true master with swords to pass judgement so loosely.

  • Just bent the junk outta my blade on 7 inches of a maple tree lol. got the first cut flawlessly, second cut, did it wrong, now the blade is basically useless lol

  • Yes, but does it blend???? lol on a more serious note, is this full tang?

  • @lordpoee yes! makes me hope that musashi swords stays around for a good long time. :)
