Young brother! I disagree… Not being disrespectful but do some more research. Any high carbon steel based Katana that’s hit against rocks SHOULD chip! Any blade from 1060 - 1095 differentially hardened carbon steel and yes even T/10 steel is going to chip if you hit rocks. They were made to cut thru flesh and MAYBE some bone. Tatami mats and bamboo is about the extent of their capabilities in terms of cutting without risk of serious damage. 9260 and MN 65 spring steel are going to be your tougher blades but I still would not recommend beating them in and on rocks.
was not gonna buy again cuz of shippinjg issues wwith them and all, and the yaamato is out of stock so is aizens zanpakuto but they released murasama so i just had to
I hope extra box jumps, horsestance, and walking up and down the hill or 3/4 circular staircase doesn't fatigue you guys or cause a pale vitamin d deficiency across the whole neighborhood though.
I really want to get vergils yamato from dmc5, I have a wooden one and it just doesn't do it for me, I do enjoy practicing iedo moves nut I don't see myself using many bamboo mats to cut amd that's all I'd ever really considering cutting, mini katanas great quality for there price, heavy emphasis on "the price" these swords are around 200 bucks amd for that price you're simply not getting good enough quality of hardened steel I can get a yamato for around 500 bucks that I'd actually consider using more for cutting but it's not accurate to the game at all it's missing alot of details, I've scanned over mini katanas version for hours and except from the obviously fake Hammond which is a shame as some of there other swords have a real one it's actually pretty damn accurate and amazing craftsmanship so for on my wall and a yearly bored cut on a proper mat I think it's worth it
@CashCarti24 As Much Ad I Could Meaning I Would Probably Barely Do It 10 Minutes A Day I’d Get Caught Up In Other Things So I’d Barely Sponge It I’m Pretty Sure Over Sponging Is A Thing Though That Shouldn’t Be Much Of A Problem As Long As A Person Lets Their Hair Breathe Instead Of Twisting It Constantly Throughout The Day So My Progress Is Probably Slow Since I Haven’t Been Maintaining My Hair That Much Which Is Okay Their Still Locking Pretty Well And Since I Don’t Twist Them Much At All
They look like shoes from Dragonball Z. Cool Im sure it would be wise to either resole them or replace them with more durable soles at a shoe repair store after a year. Someone on Amazon showed a picture of their sole detached and all it has is cardboard and adhesive.
the main reason you should not buy it is that they aren't even real katana's to begin with they are just cheap fake replica's. Real Katana's must be made from Tamahagane steel and use specific methods
for one, they do say light cutting, it is 1045, its also pretty cheap, overall, it is a pretty good katana for its price, if you watch Cerverusarms video on minikatana you can know more about these katanas and how good they are for their price as he knows a lot about katanas.
Also i dont want this to seem like a hate comment, you bring up many good points on why you dont like it. Minikatana katanas arent for everyone, i get it.
Just because it’s sporting a hamon doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to preform “less” than a through hardened blade. If it’s a well made sword then the “beating” it would sustain would be negligible to the through hardened blade. A bigger concern would be bad welds on pattern welded blades and small cracks or wrong temp in the heat treat on “diff hardened “. My opinion of course lol
Yeah I Still Got Some Learnin To Do I Appreciate The Info Soi🙏🏽 I Hear Most Cases It Just Depends On How Well The Metal Is Forged Yeah Some Steel May Be Better Though It Doesn’t Mean Much When A Blade Is Poorly Made
@@XVIINFINITE You are correct, the steel being used, is it oil or water quench. Ya buddy there is a lot to it , but the journey is rewarding. I have been studying martial arts since 1984 and I learn everyday. And I forge my own blades from top to bottom and still don’t feel comfortable calling myself a swordsmith . I have seen it so many times that the sword you like the best in theory, is not the one you choose as your fave!
@aaronmatheson9730 That’s A Lot Of Time For Studying For Sure And It’s Pretty Cool That You Can Make Your Own Blades As Well You’re More Of A Swordsmith Than Most People Smithing Seems Like There’s More To It Than It Looks On The Outside
Ronin katana, the dojo pro line is prob the best most durable katana you are gonna get at the $200-$300 price range(check their annual dents and dings sales). It's 1060 through hardened triple laminated carbon steel. Blade to blade it would cut through a traditionally folded, differentially hardened steel sword like butter. The edge retention is a little less stable than a folded steel sword or so they say, but make no mistake it's gonna stay sharp for awhile. 1095 nothing wrong with it, but don't sell 1060 short until you've checked out reviews for the Ronin dojo pros. Mathew Jensen (look him up) breaks lots of swords and he was impressed with how long it took to push it to failure. He literally had to abuse the spine against a metal rod. Either way it's a damn good katana for practice in and outside of the dojo. Or even just backyard cutting. I don't recommend their higher end swords, but specifically the dojo pro line holds up to $10k+ swords in terms of durability and performance. You can slice the head off a mule in one swing with that thing with little to no damage to the blade. Perfect zombie apocalypse sword!! Take that info or leave it. Good luck and happy swinging
Pretty good from the draw with those coconuts, I'll definitely still have to practice learning to tie on, but it's much better to encounter the tame beasts in the backyard with my sword than spear anyway. I was looking at some kunai that looked kinda cool with the cord tied on, and I've got some wooden swords, bottle stands, frizbees, boomerangs, and rubber duckies; as it's best to practice with two swords anyway though.
The Tie On? A Spear Would Be Nice Or Learning How To Maneuver A Bo Staff And Some Kunai Would Be Cool To Use And Yeah Dual Wielding Could Be Useful Whenever A Situation Calls For It For Sure
What is bro doing outside with a sword 💀🙏 Oh yeah also it’s not worth buying mini katana swords, Recently there has been a lot of poor quality and un checked quality control swords. A lot of people get their swords ( both display and high carbon steel blades ) bent or even chipped. The reason for this issue is poor quality control and the blades are extremely mass produced Which leads to some fittings not fitting on the blade causing damage to it. And the containers That they ship with hundreds of blades causes some scabbards to get damaged and have indents.
I Pretty Much Stopped Buying From Them Now I’d Like To Stay Away From Mass Produced Katanas Because Yeah Their Quality Is Basic At Most And Possibly Come With Issues I’d Use The Extra Cash For Quality
I feel much better about all of my life choices after seeing red paint on a 1k sword 😂, and less appreciating value, really great artwork on the swords of northshire spring steel sword though, even without musashi's double oval handgaurd?
I Hear It’s Pretty Much Legal Everywhere In The US But All States Have Different Laws On Carrying It In Public In Texas I’m Able To Carry It In Public Since I’m Older Than 18 I Can’t Carry It In All Places Of Course But When I Can Then I Would
Your channel looks promising and I’m looking forward to seeing you improve your form. Now I think your best cut was at 1:53 mark. The tricky part about cutting is the edge alignment which dictates how clean your cuts are. Make sure to keep your wrists straight while you cut through the bottles and not bent, keep the blade constantly in the same direction from point A to point B. The thing about draw cutting from the saya is that it challenges you to be more accurate and precise, don’t sacrifice accuracy for speed. A way you can practice your edge alignments is to cut the air and if hear like a swoosh sound then you should know if that’s a good cut. Keep in mind that the sound may vary depending on the sword you use. Keep practicing and I’m certain you’ll improve lightyears. Just two cents from a guy who isn’t any better Peace and Blessings.
I Appreciate The Help Soi I Really Do And I’ll Work On That Accuracy Over Speed And Yeah I Can Fortunately Hear A whoosh Sound Even Though My Katanas Don’t Have A Bo-hi
Pro tip, if you have anything glow in the dark and you want to enjoy that feature, just get a small blacklight flashlight. Shine it across there for a couple seconds and it will glow brighter than if you sat it in the Sun all day. And you can just keep recharging the glow with the light whenever you want and its easy and fast.
Definitely don't waste money on swords if you need the money for important things. But if you were just going to spend it on alcohol, vape, or drugs....then buy a cool katana instead. Also, don't just buy cheap ones, as you won't be satisfied long term. Research the good one that you want and be confident that's the one you will be happy with, and save up and buy it, even if it is expensive. It's not like 15 years from now you'll be looking at it and think "I really wish I hadn't bought this awesome high quality katana..."
"I really wish I hadn't bought this awesome high quality katana…” That’s So Fuxking Hilarious😂 Very True Tho I Agree Completely It’s Better To Get That Quality👌🏽
That's definitely a quality katana.The same way people use lacquer on cloth ito, you can use Resolene to treat leather ito. It protects from water and UV. I actually have a Cloudhammer and have used Resolene on it and it worked great. It'll just make the tsuka wrap a little firmer, the same as lacquer does.
The 1045 Is Pretty Decent And Will Do The Job For The Most Part I’d Spend The Extra Money For The 1060 Just To Have A Better Quality Blade Even For Bottles Which Isn’t Required For Sure But I Just Like Something That Isn’t Cheaply Made
Bladesmith here. 1045 to 1060 are considered low carbon steels. They are softer than more high catbon steels like 1075 to 1095. Those are basic carbon steels. Low carbon is not terrible as long as you have proper edge alignment. If not they will bend. Of course alot has to do with the heat treatment. I would aim for 9160 or 5160 spring steel if I were a new practitioner. Swords in this range are priced well and are forgiving to bending and breaking, but lose sharpness slightly faster than high carbons. Any further questions please ask.
High carbon swords are more brittle and unforgiving to hard targets and poor techniques. A proper smith can temper the steel to a softer hardness to help. Higher carbon = sharper, harder, but more brittle generally speaking
Yeah Their Standard 1045 Carbon Steel Katanas Can Do Just That And Should Be Fine Just Don’t Expect The Best Quality From Them Of Course Even Their 1065 Ones Will Do Well minikatana.com/products/hana-katana This One Seems Pretty Nice And It’s On Sale So I’d Definitely Get That
Hi T10 Carbon is lot better because it has sharp edge it retains sharpness for longer T10 and 1095 are good steel a whole lot better than spring steel I believe steel should not be flexible especially for a samurai swords
Never Thought About It Like That If I Get 1095 I Wouldn’t Want It Clay Tempered I Just Recently Got An S5 Shock Steel Katana From CloudHammerForge.com So I’ll Have To See What That’s All About
The $1,000 One No I Pretty Much Broke It And Now It’s The Testing Katana The T8 Carbon Steel One I Don’t Clean (Unless I Use It On Certain Objects) I Just Wipe It Down With A Microfiber Towel And It Still Hasn’t Rusted The Other Ones I Kind Of Neglect Since I Don’t Value Them As Much
@@XVIINFINITE moisture in the air is enough to rust a katana. U must use special oils and clean off the oil in a process so your katana is in perfect shape. Without doing this, over time it will rust. Buy a real kit to clean your katana.
personally i think katanas are wall hangers, they are not that good really, they are artistical but thats about it, if you want a decent cheap one theres a website called romance of men (sounds weird) that allows u to customize a katana etc, blade sharpness, metal of the blade, suba etc. I personally think if ur gonna get a katana get spring steel, that shit is tough at the price point aswell
Yo bro I have a question, i have 4b-4c hair and i recently started trying to get freeform dreads and whenever i wash my hair i always wake up with my hair flat and i always end up having to restart my journey do you know.how i can fix this problem?
I Know Little So I’ll Do Best To Help Make Sure The Hair Isn’t Wet Or Damp Whenever You Sleep (Because The Hair Compresses And It Could Possibly Build Up Mildew, Which Shouldn’t Happen But It’s Better To Be Safe) Whenever I Wash My Hair Lately I’ve Just Been Rinsing It With Water Because I Noticed My Hair Locks Up Better That Way Because Using Shampoo Or The Shampoo I Use At Least Kind Of Unravels The Hair For Some Reason So Now I Just Rinse It For The Most Part And Might Just Wash It Every 2 Weeks Unless I Feel Like I Need To Wash It Then And There I Pick The Hair Out From The Roots Often (Mostly From The Roots, After The Shower, After I Wake Up And Spray My Hair With A Water Spritzer Thing Because Picking Dry Hair Can Cause Breakage) Because Yeah The Hair Compresses After Laying Down For Long Periods Of Time You Could Possibly Try Picking The Hair Out From The Tips Of Your Hair Just Do It Slowly And Not Too Rough
I Am Careful Whenever I Shower Like I’ll Only Scratch The Roots But I’ll Do It In Sections Instead Of Scrubbing My Hair Normally So I Don’t Mess With The Little Loc Coils Then I Have My Hand Flat And Go Counter Clockwise Over The Top Of My Hair (You Probably Don’t Need To) I Do That Because I Go Counter Clockwise On My Hair With The Hair Sponge So I Try To Mimic The Same Thing With My Hands After The Shower To Dry My Hair I Use A Microfiber Towel (This Will Help You Not Only Dry The Hair But Maintain The Shape Slightly Because Microfiber Towels Can Create Locs As Well) But Don’t Get Anything That Has Color Get A Black, Brown, Or Dark Grey Just In Case So You Don’t Have Like Yellow Lint In Your Hair
@XVIINFINITE im pretty late to these replies lol because I forgot I commented on this video but so far as far as dealing with flat locs after I wash and wake up the next morning hasn't been much of a problem now since I rarely put water in my hair when I wash and I only use a bit of shampoo and like u said about only washing the sections i do that as well and I also recently started picking my roots out and it's kinda helped boost my confidence of freeforming since it's like a different look and feels fresh but overall you have been a life saver for my journey because whenever I do research for freeform tips either everyone has already gone through the journey and they always say just don't wash your hair at all and then there are some people who do two strand twist to get freeforms. You are like the first one I've found that gives tips for like starter locs after using a sponge.
If I wanted an actual katana, then I'd rather have it forged in the old ways Japanese swords were made. I think it would have more sentimental value if it was handmade
Yeah but that would cost you a fortune, I have an unsigned antique blade and with the fittings i had custom made for it it still cost me 7k but on the other hand it is a few hundred years old and was even used in battle (the marks on the blade are testament to that) so i see that as proof that it performs well at what it was made for.
@@XVIINFINITE well im practicing kenjutsu and we also do tameshigiri, I will definitely perform tameshigiri with it because im curious of how well it performs and while yes they’re not made out of modern steel they’re still not made of cardboard and can still be very effective if you know what you’re doing and if they were as weak as people claim nowadays they wouldn’t have been able to cut through multiple bodies because in the Edo period swords were tested very much and i think the highest they achieved was cutting through seven bodies at once and a sword of bad quality couldn’t do that.
@Yoda2422 That Is True Yes I Was Thinkin About Random Stuff For Sure It’d Be Great For Tameshigiri Unlike The Ways I Test The Edge Which I Know Is Completely Unpractical
ATTENTION SUMMING UP THE VID: so bro chasing clout, cus he did a vid where he said the opposite about minikatana and its his most viewed of the channel, hes basically trying get more views by again yapping 16 mins about a topic he alr discussed that couldve (no cap) been summed to around 5 min. PLS man take my advice if you want to start making youtube videos, stop yapping and EDIT IT, its the worst "youtube meta" that we have rn with mrbeast screaming at u with 50 hour editing short form hyper stimulating brain rotting dopamine buffet videos so you're not making it far by how unpleasingly you talk to the camera (looks you're talking to your crush by how you dont look at the camera, you hold your katana like its a teddy bear), you also take pauses when you talk, these should be edited too! look man it might look like im hating but i'm just giving you some real advice because i can see that you're really trying to be a content creator but you're too old to learn from your mistakes and to just give it your all without researching about things rn, just learn from ppl and be like those cringy tiktokers for some months then you'll actually have a bit of a fanbase and THEN you'll be able to make videos about things you really like and get a couple of views and a couple of money. (I have a lot of freetime ik)
This dude is a continuous yapper 😂😂 making up bs as he goes yea they’re wall hangers you should’ve known that how they look 😅 and you don’t hunt with a katana
"say for thum rethen id have to hunt with this thing" alright buddy take off the nerf tacticool vest mini katana is very good quality for replica swords they weren't made to fight with...
@woo403 They’re Based In California So The Closer You Live To California The Better I’m In Texas And It Usually Never Takes More Than 2 Weeks So Far I Received Them Within A Week If Not A Week And 2-4 Days And The Time Of Year Plays A Big Part During The Holidays It’ll Take A Bit Longer Since They Have A Lot Of Orders
I Do Other Things As Well Tho Yeah I Imagine Everyone Wants More Sword Videos I’m Still Going To Do Sword Videos I Do Apologize For My Lack Of Posting Videos Recently 🙏🏽 I Hope You’re Enjoying Yourself In The Mean Time
🙏🏽 It’s Alright This Is Just An Example Of The Video I Had Made😂 And It Does Help In A Way It’s Nice Hearing Different Opinions It Just Depends On How It’s Delivered And How I Receive It
Well im sorry but this video doesn’t make any sense, if you do actually martial arts like kenjutsu or something else (i did 9 years ninjutsu in which you learn kenjutsu and taijutsu) then you should have a katana either dull or sharp depending on your kyu or dan. Who in earth trains kenjutsu and considers buying katana‘s especially from a website
