$200 Katana VS $2000 Katana - CUTTING CHALLENGE 

But still it Haganezuka san fault

Ye but then it wasn’t Tanjiro’s fault for having a broken blade he tried to cut the spider demons head

it isn't tanjiros fault, but I dont blame haganezuka either for getting mad as shit at all lol, these things are deadass complicated

@@smokingtoilet7977 actually it broke when he tried to deflect the spider web

Heyy we got the same name

Your broken ass hand can too, after swingin an unbalanced sword a couple of times.

🤣

Everyone relates to this lol

Yes both are katana

Thank you for the knowledge

Exactly, that's why having a superior smelter is always better. Pure steel makes no sparks when hammered. 👍

Masamune would drool with envy if he saw the quality of steel an amateur knife maker like me can cheaply order online.

Thank you for saying this... I love learning new things from knowledgeable people on subjects I'm not educated in. This was a perfect piece of knowledgeable information that makes ME understand how we can compare today's katana's with the old historic ones, where I thought the folding is what made them so historically hardened

or unless youre using the traditional steel used to make katanas. It sucks and needs to be folded.

Oh what training and practice can do for someone.

The Do of the Samurai young one.

An average of 1.2 kg held with both hands isnt that much...

@@SnowMexicann real swords were not that light if i had to guess the weight of what I held as an 8year old

@@SnowMexicann It's about context. 3 pounds is nothing for a dumbell for even the most isolated muscle, but for swords movies and video games have gotten people really out of touch. Most European long swords were only 2-4 pounds, 4 being heavy enough to wear out even a large physically fit man once you start talking about needing to swing it hard, with perfect control and never cutting yourself on accident.

he did hold the kami wrong though

@@hoodrikhaase292 cuz its heavy

@@hoodrikhaase292 I’m sorry mr sword master we should all find heavy and long swords with perfect form

Eh, show me someone who can cut like that with a $59.99 stainless steel wall hanger and I'll be impressed.

​@@stevenfischer9772He could after sharpening it. And for 1 cut only.

Makes me wonder if someone can take that 1045 low cost blade and throw it in a forge for a bit and quench it to harden it more? It might become too brittle though, I'm guessing

@@RyoHazuki224 It just won't harden much past about Rockwell-C of 60-62. Edge retention is going to suck no matter what you try - short of reforging it into Damascus! I do have to disagree with video on the cost to sharpen it. It's soft, which means it easy to sharpen. It's cheap, which means you don't spend thousands sending it to a professional katana sharpening master. You do it yourself for cheap - a couple of swipes on stone is all that is required to get the edge back on it.

I have a Paul Chen sword, that rung a bell when I saw the name but I can't remember if it is the Kami line. I do know that it is noticeably heavier than cheaper blades and the handle is beefier.

​@@sydneybaker9303 The Kami line all has the same engraving on the base of the blade, a god holding a double-edged sword in his right hand.

Yeah for the most part but the ugliest part of a cheap katana is the fake hamon. Even a sloppy real hamon looks better than one that is polished on.

@@1810jeff indeed

@Bronzethelegend36 4 Long swords are pretty rad especially when they get super complex with guard designs but katanas are usually ornate so they tend to look nicer especially the hamons. The kind of work you need to do to get a clean hamon is insane and I should know because I do blacksmithing as a hobby and you would not believe the amount of time it takes to get a good hamon.

@@1810jeff the answer to much time or not enough time :b

@@yourallygod8261 It takes hours to polish it, this is the process I use. Use 60 grit belt to make final shape then go from 120 grit to 3000 by hand sanding which usually takes about 2 hours then etch in ferric chloride and use metal polish to selectively polish areas you want to stand out and then repeat the last steps until you have the results you want.

@Darren Harper Subjectively seen? Really? So... art is subjectively art then. And music is subjectively an art too, right? No, that is the farthest thing from the truth. Anything can be an art because anything can be recreated and redesigned and reperfected. Essays, art, music, your flipping gaming setup, gun building, car modding, whatever. Is it gonna be easy or good art? Maybe not, but that's besides the point. Katanas are art. There is an art to metallurgy and crafting sheathes and sharpening blades and every other step in katana construction. To say otherwise would be to disrespect the hundreds of generations of metal workers and craftsmen that have spent their lives perfecting the art of Japanese metallurgy. Generations and families would have wasted their lives because people with your mindset dismiss their sacred craft as "subjective art" in an incredible show of self centeredness. You've no right to come along and diss basically an entire subculture and to an extent, Japanese culture, because you have no appreciation for beauty.

@Darren Harper No high scale war today is fought with swords and spears anymore. It's the era of guns and bombs, which are much more quicker and practical to make. So, if you're going to get a blade made for you in this day and age, you may as well go the extra mile. Because all you'll be cutting is bamboo or mats. It's also about keeping the culture alive.

I literally got ghost of Tsushima vibes from that

@@ethanielcarey2275 Don't worry, most Japanese people aren't like that lol

@Ronnie Jones You're comparing apples to oranges. Most European bladed weapons were made for stabbing or well, stabbing. Hence the straight blade. Also helps when you're parrying if the blade is you know, thicker. Its a weapon meant for the masses. No single side to contend with, no "fragility" basically. On the other hand (like the aforementioned dao), the katana is made for slicing. Its a cutting weapon, not a stabbing one. Thus, 2 blades aren't necessary, and the blade doesn't need to be as thick as a longsword's.

A lot of WWII katanas were mass-produced junk. They really can't compare to high-quality traditional Japanese swords.

the thing i like about katana's over medieval longswords is the craftsmanship, they put their soul and blood into making them and they treat it like a living creature, an extension of ones body, but apart from that the longsword beats it in every other aspect

Well. At the very end, swords are mostly for showing your status then for a battlefield

The Japanese had very poor steel at that time. It is amazing what they did with it

tamahagane iron sand which is what the japanese use is actually not recommended for todays usage. There way better, more durable, flexible modern steel

i can tell you with 99% certainty that feudal times Katanas wont be as good as modern day Katanas. simply because of the knowledge we got nowadays + materials are way more refined.

these cheaps katanas and other swords are good for decoration

I bought the practical katana, took some tameshigiri lessons and had some fun. I have nothing to compare to but it is a decent, sharp katana. Needs better balance towards the handle I feel, maybe more of a curve and longer handle…but that’s just my opinion based off what little I know.

Agreed. My Hanwei katanas out preforms all of my other katanas. It looks great, feels great, functions amazingly over all of my other brands. Most bang for your buck is exactly what I tell people
