Hey Shad, big fan, pro boxer here. Letting you know why your "horizontal cuts" are failing you. This is the same problem that I see most new boxers have trouble throwing an effective hook. Hooks in boxing can be very prone to being slow and arm-driven and more like a "push" than a punch. Obviously there are some form differences in swords and punches but two major points are the same. 1: Almost all the turning power will come from the hips and by pivoting off the back foot. 2: To generate more "snap" or speed on the turn you want to bend your knee on the back foot and pivot on the ball of your back foot. Treat your rear foot like the spindle, your hips are the fulcrum, and your front foot stays solid. You can trick yourself into good form by pretending like you heard something over your left shoulder and you need to turn and look as fast as possible. You'll notice a natural slight dip in both your knees (more in the back) and you want to focus all your energy on that turning in your hips. Hope that helps!

What I see is that they don't provide enough speed/power, so they begin with good edge alignment and keep it steady for a bit, but they just don't cut through fast enough so they're expected to keep that edge alignment for too long when they should be swinging in the direction of their edge alignment faster.

Rolling is a sign the blade isn't hard enough (otherwise it would have either received no damage or have chipped if it were too hard) and rolling on a relatively soft material like PVC... that is inexcusable. I mean they are at the very least expected to be able to cut bone and that is about twice as hard as PVC. Not a good look. So... this one is shit and I wouldn't pay $200 for it. Striking the top of the pvc at that shit angle I would expect it to take a warp, bend, or set due to not being spring steel but an edge roll? Naw they dun fucked up the heat-treat.

A few quick things: 1. The edge rolling vs chipping is a bit odd. You should get a hardness tester (either the scratch-files or a digital one) and test the full length of the blade. I suspect something wonky happened in heat treatment. 2. Hitting a PVC pipe of that diameter is actually extremely hard on swords, especially from top-down at an angle because it will catch the edge and twist the blade. As such, I'm not surprised the sword took damage, but rolling the edge was a bit strange. Before you destroy it, I hope you test the hardness to see if it's actually as advertised Looking forward to the next video 👍

Could be a bad forge weld in that general area too. Perhaps even some delamination in the micro structure. It happens and you can't confirm that without cutting the blade and looking. Or if the blade peels like a banana during the destruction testing. But I agree that's not normal even for a katana. I love them but I hate them, they feel great and they are beautiful but darn me if they aren't glass cannons!!!

I had the same thought about consistency of hardening, and your suggestion that it be tested along the length of the edge is, uh, on point as the kids say. If it was indeed traditionally clay hardened as the hamon shows, the sword may not have reached optimum temperature or it may have been quenched too slowly. I can’t think of any other explanation for that rolling.

Couldn't agree more. Speaking as a bit of a steel nerd, what most people fail to understand is that modern, high end steels simply far exceed the best steels that were ever even possible in the past and it doesn't matter how laborious or traditional the sword making process was or how many times the steel was hammered and folded it doesn't make any difference, modern steels are just better. The entire reason all that laborious processing and folding was done in the first place was because of the relatively unrefined quality of traditional raw materials and it was necessary to literally beat the impurities out of them. If you start with decent quality modern steels and process them in the traditional method you introduce oxide scale impurities into them and actually make them chemically and structurally worse.

The steel used in modern, reputable high-quality Japanese knives is the same as the steel used in Katana. Japanese steel company Hitachi Metals developed Yasugi Specialty Steel (yasuki hagane) around 1970 by analyzing tatara steel and tamahagane. Yasugi Steel has the same properties as katana, so it is hard, impact resistant, and hard to break. Yasugi Specialty Steel is used for a variety of purposes, including knife steel, high-grade kitchen knife materials (Kai Corporation, Zwilling), razor materials (Gillette, Schick, Wilkinson razor steel), automobile parts materials, automobile engine parts, aircraft engine parts, etc.

The Katana made in Japan are highly regulated/restricted to be produced by the traditional method as a cultural art. The steel for these swords is deliberately produced in limited quantities. All of this drastically limits supply, creates prestige, and radically drives up the price. For Japanese katana it’s better to treat the pricing like the modern art market (though not as extreme). However, unlike modern art Japanese Katana are actually beautiful and skillfully made. 😅 I think there’s value in doing it the traditional way, even if it’s not as strictly functional as swords made with modern materials and methods (modern steel is impressive).

Yes but unfortunately a lot of people think all of that translates to traditional Japanese katanas being superior swords, when in reality they just aren't. And people think any traditional way of making steel or swords is superior to what can be accomplished with modern techniques and materials and that certainly isn't the case. A katana like that is a piece of art and a piece of history-by-proxy and should be regarded as such. And that doesn't take away from what it is in the slightest.

Japan legally enforces the traditional method of katana making since they have strict weapon laws. The katana is given an exemption since it’s considered a cultural heritage, but that includes the requirement that it’s made in the old way as an artistic expression. Anything outside of that would be considered an illegal weapon and destroyed, even including other stuff considered antique like those officer swords made for the Imperial Japanese Army in WW2 (hence why most still existing of those swords are in the US taken as war booty by American GIs). So since everything must be made in the traditional way otherwise it’s illegal, that drives up the price considerably.

I got to see historical katanas in person and their engravings were so fine that I didn't even bother to take a picture of them because I knew that the detail wouldn't even show up in the photos on my old 2010 phone. I can only barely see the finer details on that sword with your camera. I'm convinced that sword is a work of art.

I know someone that as waited 5 years for his Tamahagane Katana to be made and paid 23k for it and the edge roll and the sword warp when once by mistake he hit the wood stick inside the tatami mat he add to send it back to Japan for 11 month to be taking care of by the master bladesmith and a master polisher and it cost him an additional 6k for this cutting mistake. Katana are amazing cutters and cool and beautiful but they also are so fragile if made traditionally, personally I rather buy a cheaper modern steel Katana to avoid those flow, yes traditionally made or antique katana are absolutely beautiful but 20k for something that will bent if u make a slight mistake when cutting for me is not worst the price unless u so rich that u don't give a damn like my friend does lol

Regarding the lack of durability and performance of traditional Katanas compared to their modern counterparts . High end Katanas are like high end mechanical wrist watches. They are objects of beauty , the pinnacle of craftsmanship, and incredibly expensive . That said , a $50 quartz Casio will keep better time than a $5 million Richard Mille.

Yea if you think about it, in medieval Japan, if you see a brightly dressed man with an even more brightly colored and "bedazzled" sword by his side. You wouldn't want mess with him even if he was a novice. Its a testament to wealth and money can be just as dangerous as that sword at their side.

@@newp0rt I'm not saying a good looking sword is a strong one. besides the blade itself can be completely ordinary and well forged, it would be the handle and sheathe that is fancy anyway, that wouldn't effect the blades quality. Normally you wouldn't see someone else's blade out of its sheathe anyway.

Ya'll need some way to measure claims on rockwell hardness, that edge behaviour makes no sense at all towards what you would expect from it, even cheaper hand made katanas dont seem to behave that badly, i wonder if theres some funny business going on there.

The crowd was tense with excitement as the final three Samurai faced off; After a long day of competing it was the final round of competition to find who was indeed the master swordsman. In a final challenge the three men had to show their prowess and concentration by slicing the finest of targets, a mere fly. The first Samurai steps up to the stage a fly is released. Bzzzzzzzzzz Bzzzzzzzzz ‘Zing’ With extreme precision the Samurai slices the fly in half, the crowd erupt. The second Samurai fearlessly steps up on stage and another fly is released. Bzzzzzzzzz Bzzzz ‘Zing Zing!’ With two cuts of his sword the second Samurai cuts the fly into not two but four pieces. ‘Amazing!’ Scream the crowd. Such a feat has never been seen before. The quiet descends for a final time in the stadium as the third Samurai calmly steps on stage, the tension is paramount as the fly is released. Bzzzzzz bzzzzzzz ‘zing!’ Bzzzzzz bzzzzz The fly simply flies off, seemingly free from its fate. The crowd are dejected, one man can’t help but disappointedly ask ‘is that it? You couldn’t even kill it!’ The third Samurai raises his finger, ‘Ah yes he may live but that fly shall have no children’.

Not surprised it took the set, Katana are pretty good at that when they are properly deferentially hardened because the spine is softer and bends easier. Also, japanese words don't use S's for plural, hearing "katanas" is... grating lol. There is one katana. There are many katana. Beautiful sword though. I think people underestimate how weak swords were in general if you go back to ancient materials and methods. Plenty of broken European swords found in battlefields as well.
