Cold Steel - Warrior Series Japanese Swords 

I love that fat guy, He always said"Die" when he cut something! he is very anger

"Die!" Cuts skull in half I think he died.

Imagine the people who got chopped by these weapons!! “Rest in pieces”

単純に殺傷目的の武器（刃物）としてだけ見れば、これはもう日本刀をはるかに超えてるよ。 強度や柔軟性等、本当に素晴らしい。 やっぱり現代の工業技術はすごいね。

These guys look like they work at a desk job in a office and this is what they do on lunch break.

Lynn thompson is literally just here because he loves anything with a sharp edge and thats admirable.

Me: "Um, yes. I'd like an order of Christmas ham, please." Cold Steel Worker: "DIEEE!"

I love the obscure stuff that they test their blades on.... If I end up purchasing one of these swords, I'll rest easy knowing that I have the capability to cut through a surfboard.

Lynn Thompson: *Walks into rug store* Owner: *Nervously sweats*

They hve a very satisfying job..

This must be one of my favourite Cold Steel test videos, well done guys! Keep up the good work! Thanks

I love when the background music syncs with the cuts.

0:38 ❌Wa(ka)zashi ⭕Wa(ki)zashi

6:56 absolutely remarkable.

1:11 when u don't have scissor but you bring katana for some reason

These promos are hilarious. I totally want to buy one of these swords.

0:35 Wakazashi is misspelled. Wakizashi is the correct name.

4:03 DIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE 😂

This is passion. Thank you cold steel for your work! Best regards from Russia! :)

力任せにたたき切る感じが外国人らしくて好き、そしてお肉がおいしそう

3:58 日本国内ではおおよそできないレベルで表現が直接的すぎてめちゃくちゃ笑ってしまった

is this what workers from office depot do to let stress out?

In the old days, even swords made by famous master craftsmen were unrecognizable until they were cut. Therefore, criminals sentenced to death had their torsos cut in half in an execution called ikidameshi. By the way, there is a record that the torso of seven people was cut in half at once.

3:40 that's the juiciest tatami mat I've ever seen. Very satisfying thank you.

Lynn C Thompson is remarkably spry for such a stocky guy, and surprising good at throwing sharp objects not actually designed to be thrown. I can't help but click like on any video showing him in his natural element - cutting things apart with a giant knife. I've actually ordered a knife from Cold Steel just because these videos have inspired me.

日本刀本来の切り方でないのにパワーでそれを補う外人ホント好き

The Nodachi is my dream weapon. Incredible..... ❤

Holy moly. Amazing how I never see any other knife manufacturer test their products like this. Exact reason why I go to cold steel for all my knife needs. Don’t even look at another brand.

This weapon will KEEL

0:01 your sword 4:25 boss sword

The slow motion sound effects are the best!

It's hilarious watching Andrew's face while he chops w/ his Katana "This is the guy that invented the TriAd lock"

These guys do a good job at showing these weapons and what they can do

These guys unintentionally have some really great shots that would work in a horror movie Like them stabbing the door at 9:46 Imagine a darker tone and its like Jason instead of a sweaty heavyset guy

Ahhh.... the peak of Japanese culture and craftsmanship. Such a elegant, beautiful, and chilling tool for killing. Going through skin, meat, and bone like it's air. What a fine blade. After all that it took barely any damage.

なんだろう、力任せすぎるんだよなぁ…

刀も凄いけど、この人達の技術も凄い

It is beautiful that the sword blade does not shake at all even if it is swung so well.

I bet cooking dinner at Mr Thompsons house go's to a whole new level.

他国の文化を尊重せずにとにかく派手さと面白さを追求する精神は変わらないな

Cold steel, you are impressive, at first, some other weapons are flimsy at first sight, and now it's amazing to see that they cut through bone

Ill need one of those if I am ever attacked by meat or bamboo.

I needed this in my life

That Tanto was amazing. So was the O Katana.

みんな色々批判してるけどさ、日本刀で物斬ったことある？俺はあるよ。畳表一発斬るだけがものすごく難しい。居合も剣道も有段者だけど、日本刀での実戦ではなんの役にも立たないと思った。まさにこの外人さん達凄い。太刀筋見事。なかなか斬れないんだよこんな風に。それに昔の侍も実際はこんな感じに叩き斬ってたんだよ。今の居合、剣道は戦後改良されたスポーツや形でしかない。 それを真剣に当時のリアルな使い方や破壊力を検証してくれてる外国の方に素直に感謝だよ。

Imagine the big guy being your Dad and you accidentally formated his hardrive with samurai guides, tutorials and animés videos

Lynn Thompson has a satisfying job. I want one of those swords. I only have two items from that company. Would like to get more if I had the money.

the scream adds sharpness everyone knows that!! im sold, ordering one from amazon RN! as first katana seems really sharp!

3:29 LEMME SEE YOUR WARFACE!!!

***** Another beautiful Katana series Cold Steel! Ever since I've purchased my absolutely STUNNING *Dragonfly Katana* from you guys, I've realized that your blades are truly the best quality works of art on the market today! This is AWESOME that CS is now making an affordable Warrior Katana now, I'm DEFINITELY going to get one to try out a lighter katana! Thanks for the video! :)

Que lâmina muito bem afiada parabéns pelo vídeo

Absolutely love these unfit old guys' displays of killing potential

Netflix: are you still watching? Someone´s daughter: 1:47

0:00 - *Warrior O Tanto* 0:35 - *Warrior Wakizashi* 1:06 - *Warrior Chisa Katana* 2:13 - *Warrior Katana* 4:22 - *Warrior O Katana* 6:07 - *Warrior Nodachi* *Tanto* - _This is a short sword with a blade between 14 and 30 cm. Typically used for short range stabbing and some slash attacks. Suitable for one handed use. The O'Tanto is basically a little longer tanto._ *Wakizashi* - _This is a medium length, lightly curved sword with a blade between 30cm and 60cm. More used for closer quarters engagement and as a backup to the main sword (katana). The hilt can just barely fit two hands, but more meant for single handed wielding._ *Katana* - _This is considered a standard length sword which generally has blade length greater than 60.6cm. Has a moderately curved blade with a hilt that comfortably accomodates two hands. The Chisa Katana is a katana with a slightly shorter length. The O'Katana is a slightly longer than a typical katana._ *Nodachi* - _Refers to a large sword with a blade length of 90.9cm or longer. Has very long hilt. Pre-dated the katana, and typically only easily wielded by physically strong warriors. Can be moderately or heavily curved._

Such sharpness cannot be compared

Man I have always wanted a Chisa Katana. Such an awesome setup with the full handle & short blade.

1:16 Dude looked genuinely angry at that ham.

400年ほど前の日本では武士から百姓にいたるまで各家庭に一本ありました。しかしこれほど立派な日本刀を持っていた人は大名や名のある侍、由緒ある農家だけでしょう。 動画では刀の切れ味、強度、驚異的なしなりを見せてもらいました。金髪の侍達は刀を振り回してましたが、綺麗な切り口で感心しました。

こんなにも簡単に日本刀の力を見せてくれる動画はない、素晴らしい それと日本で刀を使うのがとても上手な人の中には、動画の中でも切っていた藁の束を一回切り、さらに切った上の方をさらに空中でもう一回切ることができる人もいます。

切るとき足を同時に踏む　体重を乗せる踏み込みの動作が無いのに斬れてる時点で、凄い切れ味なのがわかる。ただ、これを日本の居合いやってる人に使わせたらどうかを比較するのが見たい

why is so entertaining watching uncle dudes cutting things?

This is the best way to vent stress if possible.

Definitely need one of those

"Can you cut me a piece of cake.........." EEEYAAGHHHHH!!

3:57 says it all....

Samurai sword, the right way to cut not smashing or chopping but a slash which is very different

i had a great time!!!! thanks!!!!!!

Y does the bigger dude say "DIE" while he's hitting the thing

Dear Cold Steel Please don't ever improve your mallninjaesque video production. It's glorious

I'm Japanese. Thanks for very interesting videos and powerful actions. I want you to come to Japan someday:)

This is so sick you deserve 1 billion subscribers

I think it's actually brilliant that out of shape amateurs are swinging these swords and making excellent cuts just shows you how good the swords are...

So I've ranked the ability of these guys from the video based on their positioning and basically how effectively they cut. 1. The taller guy with the sandy hair and beard. He cuts very precisely, doesn't use too much force, and makes sure he returns the blade to it's original position. I love watching him for tips. 2. The more bulky guy with the longest hair of the testers. Very smooth and precise, he lines up multiple cuts very well. 3. The more well built guy with the hair that is shaved on the sides and longer on the top. He's similar to number one in making precise swings and doesn't over swing most of the time. 4. The man, the legend, the guy I keep forgetting his name who shouts "Die/Dai" most of the time. He's been the business for a pretty long time, but it doesn't help his swing much. Sometimes the force he puts in is a bit too much, and sometimes he doesn't get that wrist/forearm action that he needs to cut through that last mat. Not like these rankings matter too much, as long as they're selling product and having fun testing these nicely forged weapons. 5. The bald guy. This guy needs some major lessons, half the time he swings the sword like a baseball bat. He always looks like he's not having too much fun. Less waist action and more fine control dude, or like a healthy balance of both. Either way, he's unfortunately in last place. Take some tips from number one, please. And that concludes the rankings. I love watching these Cold Steel testing videos, it's not just bottles and gallons of water, it's meat and bones and tatami mats. The stabbing through car hoods makes me cringe in the classic sense of the word. You're gonna scratch up the blade man!

This is one of the best videos .

11 minutes of satisfying video

0:40 When someone eats your burger

1:10 I swear he's trying so hard not to laugh 😂

2:02 外人だからしょうがないかもしれないけど、ここはまじで許せない思った 居合道初めてまだ5年だから何言ってもあれかもしれないけど、本当に虫唾が走った。

Lynn Thompson screams "Die!" every time he slashes and i love that

Japanese swords are amazing, but these men who can master them are even more amazing!!

1st guy: *Cuts 4 pigs in half* 2nd guy: “That’s nothing I can beat that” *Proceeds to cut 1 pig in half*

EMIYA would love this channel

that nodachi is a beast

*6:11** is the Really Best!!!!*

3:44 Pacific front in ww2 be like:

Fantastic more videos about katana please!!

Why was 10 year old me so obsessed with this

この切り方はまるで野球のバッティングの様だ

0:35 Wakazashi× Wakizashi︎︎〇

J adore ce que vous faites. Continuez comme ca. J adore les sabres japonais elles sont commes des femme si fines et si tranchante

This is so satisfying

what if my attacker has arms

5:29 The rope’s last message (Adjust speed to 0.25 then look at the rope)

mans in the grey longsleeve dress shirt gives alternate universe rich evans energies

1:12 damn that is so good.

I'd argue that this is the most efficient blade you can get! Everyone knows about Katana's and this model is war ready - for sure! excellent balance + efficient/very pliable blade!

3:06.. First tatami mat cut looked so clean and effortless .. But I want the wakizashi

8:23 IT WILL KEAL.

The short ones reminding me of.... Chunchunmaru

Well, there's something that botheres me: at 6:13 the next few seconds there is a jumpcut while he cuts 4 pigs (without intestines) The first part before the jumpcut you can clearly see how far the rest of the pigs fell, as the sword reaches the fourth pig. The amount of drop is minimal. Then, in the next cut, the undersides of the pigs are gone while the sword cuts through the fourth pig. In addition to that, you can clearly see a second cut in the fourth pig rest that is still hanging. The sword didn't cut through all 4 pigs, they tried to hide it with a jumpcut. In itself that wouldn't be a problem for me, as I just witnessed that it can cut extremely well, although, the idea of trying to hide the result of the test in this manipulative way makes me reconsider. Do I want to buy from a company that tries to cover up what in their opinion looks like a failure? You should have just showed us the sword cutting through 3 and a half pigs, without the jumpcut to the next shot of it cutting the fourth. That would have shown that the company is indeed trustworthy and displays everything as it is.
