honshu blades are wicked sharp. I have a honshu kitchen knife and i accidentally cut of the tip of my pinky finger. Not much just 3 mm.Crazy thing is , it was painless, that's how sharp it is.
What's the difference?? Is the d2 one stronger? Don't really know much about swords..I saw that combat commander has a sword similar to this one made out of 1065 carbon steel
@@fergusonbishop1205 The D2 steel version is absolutely tougher steel the one in the video is not a bad steel but it doesn't compare to D2 , but the D2 cost about $50 or $60 more ,and rightfully so because of the blade size and it is a Tool Steel high carbon. I have only seen it on TrueSwords.com
This is on my buy later list on Amazon. Can't wait till I can purchase it, I have 27 knives and swords on it but this will be the next to be purchased. Thank you for the review.
It is meant for cutting people. I call it a smasheti. It is a hack and slash weapon and the bottom part below the blade is meant to be dull so it does not get stuck
Those holes in the blade are for "7 meters", "10 meters", "15 meters" and "25 meters"....jk. Cool blade and the rope cutting scene is crazy. Thanks for showing.
I don't care for the holes next to the handle. If the cutting edge went all the way back would be great 👍 Don't misunderstand, it looks really good, but I am looking for something similar but heavier built. These guys also have a machete that is also very nice but it has the holes near the handle. I'm probably going to wind up with Two 2 lb + Bowie knives for now.. the Two Bowie knives that I daily carry are kinda Puny for my current needs. A little Short I might add. They have served me extremely well but with a 1lb 10 in blade? They just aren't cutting it so to speak.. One other point that I keep coming up with is that I have always used two blades. Decisions, Decisions. 😢
Don't buy it it have flaws i got one ant it will break if you cut the trees. It's very delicate it will protect you from bear or a mountain lion but no chopping wood. This blade is simply only to kill someone or something.
youd be surprised. they are added there to increase its structural intregrity. wich sounds stupid i know but for some reason (if done correctly) actually works
cost obviously, if they would use a better steel like 5160 it would cost around double the price, i would not mind paying that price for a 5160 blade but the main target are those with limited found that want a nice toy for the backyard that will not rust.
A.Plosky I agree. For a sword that’s meant to be an impact weapon, they could at least use 1060 carbon steel. Hell I’ll take properly heat treated 1045 for an inexpensive sword. Stainless is just too brittle and hard for actual sword use.
@@Divine_Serpent_Geh agree 1045 would be enough while being cost effective But another point, they made it stainless so the blade stay shiny even when used, if it would be carbon steel it would either develop patina or worse rust (personally i don't mind a patined blade)
