a review of my wifes custom wakizashi from swords of northshire. #katana #wakizashi #swords #blades #samuraisword #japanesesword #japanesekatanasword #katanasword #samurai #bushido
Neat cutter.. I enjoy your showcase videos where you give some story and experiences, along with the display. How about a video that focuses on Tsuba variety - your opinions of iron vs other alloys. And the different shapes - traditional round, or modern more complex designs. You have a fair amount of experience with a healthy variety of different designs - that appeals to people. Wakizashi seems more practical for modern applications (to me, anyways), and I find it odd that folks still prefer the full-length katana over it.
As far as fake hamons go, that one is better than most! Tsuba looks nice. Nice theam. I like the dark earthy colours. Before I started smithing my own swords a was able to get my hands on a bunch of mono steel 1060 blades (musashi/musha brand). I ended up putting a real hamon on them. It was perfect for learning to clay hardening.
