Backyard cutting with a home made cutting stand (cost me 15$ for the wood and about 45 min of work). In this short clip, I used a custom Hanwei Shinto elite. My friend Robby Doom did the customization. Brown leather ito with black lacquered samegawa in katate-maki. For pictures, see: http://web.me.com/robbydoom/Meiun_Tsuka-maki/Gallery.html
I also used the amazing Hanwei Tori elite.

Both katana were bought at : http://www.wiwingtiswordsupply.com/. Wiwingti has the best prices on the market.

Cutting targets : double and triple rolled beach mats tatami and plastic bottles filled with water.

Music : Lonely Sheperd by Gheorghe Zamfir.

  • 1:28 the bottom half of the bottle falls and lands upright. EPIC.

  • everyone says youre bad but nobody tells you what's wrong. you're too stiff in your shoulders, you're turning your wrists, and you're not keeping your weight centered. the blade can do the cutting without any help from your arms so dont worry about those, the path of the cut and your hips should move as one. that being said, it only need be a small motion, so just relax and guide the blade straight, and you'll cut anything you need to =]

  • I had the opportunity to try the Tori Elite at the United Backyard Cutters Moyoushi 2009. What an amazing katana. I hadn't seen your video before, are you a UBC member? We have new forums at unitedbackyardcutter(dot)com

    Cheers.

  • nice cutting. I just bought my self a Hanwei Tori Elite 2 weeks back. The sword is awesome.
