@@anthonyprevost3968their sword's are amazing for the price point. Some of their $150 sword's are balanced as well as $800 blades. Just recommend swapping out the tsuba because they tend to use heavier ones.

I picked up a scrap of metal from a power plant under construction. Took it home, contacted a machinist friend, turned it into a short sword (modeled after Japanese styles, but I can not claim I turned it into a Katana). Cost me only a few hours labor as a novice machinist. It does much better as a thrusting weapon than a slashing weapon. That said, pretty sure no human would survive being on the receiving end.

@jonajo9757 Жыл бұрын

I feel like this should be mentioned, but every longsword vs. Katana video only shows an Edo period katana instead of a war katana. Laws passed during the Edo period practically cut down all swords so they couldn't surpass a total length of 86cm.

Reminds me of how people think all stainless steel swords are junk. I have owned mostly stainless steel swords, for years, and I torture tested some and they have not broken, nor bent out of shape and have held a decent edge and maintain a spring temper. It's all dependant upon what grade and who makes them. As a matter of fact, I own a 1045 high carbon shirasaya, and it dulls just like how people say that "all stainless steel swords aren't real swords".
