Thanks man! Yeah, we really try to carry swords in everyone’s price point. I really appreciate that kind comment! Thank you so much for watching and for your continued support!
I really like your honest review on your own manufactured products brother, many won't do it thinking it might indirectly effect their sales in the market. 5 stars to your honesty dude.God bless you.
Thank you for having cheap swords! I’m 13 and I don’t get much of an allowance but I made 55 bucks and was left with $47 and I really want a strong sturdy yet unsharpened sword, then I come across your amazing prices and now I found a really nice one on your site so thank you!😁😁😁😁
That's awesome Juan! I really appreciate that! We try to carry swords in all price ranges. Thanks so much for watching and for your support! I really appreciate that!
I really appreciate that! I guess I just want to give the viewers as much information as possible about the items I show off so that they can make an educated decision. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. I hope you have a great week!
Thanks Kyle! Yeah, that watermelon actually looked really delicious! They seem to be in season right now. Thank you so much for watching and for your continued positivity! It makes doing these videos worth it!
I MISSED WEAPONS WEDNESDAY!!!! My feed didn’t bring it up! Anyway...great video!!! I’ve got two of those short swords. They are the same length as escrima sticks and I use them the same way in stick katas. Believe it or not I sliced up a watermelon for my wife last week with my ww2 katana! I love that you are whacking that solid tree dummy! And beating the blades together! NICE!!! My take is the short sword is for “survivalist” standard stainless which can’t be hardened but you don’t want it to be. You want to be able to sharpen it with a file. And you don’t want it to snap when when prying out roots when foraging. It will cut small branches for the camp site. And for double stick fighting and self defense. You don’t want your blade to break. And you can repair it and get back to life. The katana held up pretty well. It’s designed for cutting flesh with a small amount of bone. Not cutting down a trees. Every blade is designed for a purpose. Axes are made to cut things like “Woody”. Also a side note samurai wood deflect a strike with the back of a blade so as not to harm that precious edge they need to survive another battle. Side note a spring steel blade katana would not bend like yours did. If you get your swords from longquan they do make a spring steel blade katana. I think that for their intended purpose that they both did their job well! I’d give them both a 10 outta 10! Great job Kyle!!!
Wow John! That is a lot of really helpful information! Thank you so much for commenting. I actually learned a lot from reading what you said. Thanks so much for watching and for your continued support. I really do appreciate it!
@@Karatemart u got it! Always happy to contribute when it comes to one of my first loves! It been an obsession with me since I made my first sword in 1973. Happened to be a katana! Since then I have made for people all over the world blades. I’ve kept it on a “hobby” kind of basis so it always feels new and fun. I was very very lucky to have known someone who trained in Japan as a martial artist when I was 17. He taught me how to make a katana. Took me 6/8ish months to make in my stepfathers shop. At that point I was hooked! I’ve made European/Viking bladed weapons and Asian weapons. I always go back to Asian especially Japanese. It’s in fact the style of martial arts I still take. I’m actually gonna go into my shop right now to build an Okinawan weapon cause I just got a new tool for my lathe! Maybe I’ll send you one in appreciation for “WEAPONS WEDNESDAY”!
@@johnemmons9087 that is so awesome John! I really love your appreciation for weapons and your knowledge of making them. Thank you so much for everything brother!
Thanks Gunner! I appreciate that. When I test things out on video, you’ll see that I’ve had a lot of things break. Whenever I show things break on video, that item never sells again, but I’d rather it not sell than have unhappy customers. I hope you are having an excellent week, my friend!
Thank you so much Philip! I made this video after the employees left last night and honestly debated even releasing it because I wasn’t really happy about how it turned out. I really appreciate your kind comment. That makes me feel better about releasing it. Thanks so much for your support Philip!
Thanks Vadim! I agree. The $20 one actually did pretty well. Yeah, I'm sure a training swords video will be coming down the road, but right now I have a list of other videos I need to do first. Thanks so much for watching!
Softer steels are still steel, so it's not like they're actually "soft." Softer steels also aren't without their advantages either. They sharpen very fast, which can compensate for their low durability, and they're also not as brittle, which can protect them from breaking/cracking. I still wouldn't want to get hit with something cheap and light like the one in this video. It definitely ain't gonna tickle. Also, softer doesn't mean less sharp. You can sharpen bronze to a razor edge. Softer just means less edge retention, so they'll dull faster.
I love how you give it to the product line I'd still get the small sword for practice. After Christmas l am looking for a katana. All the best for Christmas and New Year just in case you don't post one more before Christmas. 🙏🖖🍻👏👏👏👏👏
Hahahaha! That wing chun dummy has been through so much! You can even find old videos of me using it 5 years ago where it was actually in decent shape! Thanks so much for watching!
@@lewisreeves9843 Thank you so much Lewis! I can't tell you how much I appreciate the positive comments! Sadly, there is so much criticism an negativity on RU-vid that it really makes a difference when you spread kindness. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind remarks!
That’s a great question, but it’s been so long since I made this video that I don’t remember. I’m going to guess either 440 or 3Cr13. Thanks so much for watching!
That is an interesting knife. It seems pretty strong and I definitely understand why you would want to see it tested. I'm not sure if I want to do another weapon testing video next week, but I may test that knife in the future. Thank you so much for watching and for the suggestion.
@@NeaHaunts Thank you so much for watching and I really do appreciate your kind remarks during our live stream. You seem like a really nice person and I appreciate that. Have a great week!

@@Swisso_ hi, because of the differing laws in each country, we need to check the laws before sending anything there, so please call or email customer service to place your order. Thank you!
I’ve experienced that as well, but I agree that it is not the norm. I really appreciate you watching my video and thank you so much for your comment. I hope you are having a great week!

Well next up is the 300 dollar swords cuz bruh this is fuckin insane you know it’s real because hamon line on my 1060 look way different definitely gettin another sword
Awesome man! Yeah, I love swords. It’s really fun when you start to notice the little things that make some swords nicer than others…like the hamon line.
I agree! After this video, I bent the blade back, resharpened it and gave it to an employee. I hope you are having an incredible weekend! Thanks so much for watching!
Great question! While the historical evidence is very limited, generally ninjato are represented as a straight bladed sword instead of a katana with a curved blade. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart wat most call ninjatou has been proven to come from a tsurugi ^^ a straight bladed Japanese sword. The ninjatou can also b said as getting it design from choukutou. In all honesty there is no such thing as a special ninja sword called ninjatou found in Japanese history. How ever square tsuba r found but there jst tsuba for katana. However this doesn't mean a ninjatou can't exist it its made as a proper sword ^^ then ya that fantasy can b a reality^^ also I'm loving this channel ^^
@@sandoe41 I can believe that! There is very little historical information about the ninja in general. And, as with many weapons, Hollywood has put their claim on the way they look. Thanks so much for watching!
Hahahaha! Yeah, I’ve been using this exact same wooden dummy for over 10 years and it appears in a ton of my videos. This specific one didn’t pass quality assurance back when we used to sell them, so I chose to keep it for myself. Thanks so much for watching!
