Hey Shad, big fan, pro boxer here. Letting you know why your "horizontal cuts" are failing you. This is the same problem that I see most new boxers have trouble throwing an effective hook. Hooks in boxing can be very prone to being slow and arm-driven and more like a "push" than a punch. Obviously there are some form differences in swords and punches but two major points are the same. 1: Almost all the turning power will come from the hips and by pivoting off the back foot. 2: To generate more "snap" or speed on the turn you want to bend your knee on the back foot and pivot on the ball of your back foot. Treat your rear foot like the spindle, your hips are the fulcrum, and your front foot stays solid. You can trick yourself into good form by pretending like you heard something over your left shoulder and you need to turn and look as fast as possible. You'll notice a natural slight dip in both your knees (more in the back) and you want to focus all your energy on that turning in your hips. Hope that helps!

Too much right arm baseball bat swings and not enough cutting with the tip. They are both practically leading the sword with their hands, with the tip making contact dead last. Proper cutting technique would also lessen the chances of any blade damage.

@@davefletch3063 Well I'm sure they know that! What I see is that they don't provide enough speed/power, so they begin with good edge alignment and keep it steady for a bit, but they just don't cut through fast enough so they're expected to keep that edge alignment for too long when they should be swinging in the direction of their edge alignment faster.

@bearmtn7 16 дней назад

A few quick things: 1. The edge rolling vs chipping is a bit odd. You should get a hardness tester (either the scratch-files or a digital one) and test the full length of the blade. I suspect something wonky happened in heat treatment. 2. Hitting a PVC pipe of that diameter is actually extremely hard on swords, especially from top-down at an angle because it will catch the edge and twist the blade. As such, I'm not surprised the sword took damage, but rolling the edge was a bit strange. Before you destroy it, I hope you test the hardness to see if it's actually as advertised Looking forward to the next video 👍

@MobilesuitBigO 16 дней назад

Could be a bad forge weld in that general area too. Perhaps even some delamination in the micro structure. It happens and you can't confirm that without cutting the blade and looking. Or if the blade peels like a banana during the destruction testing. But I agree that's not normal even for a katana. I love them but I hate them, they feel great and they are beautiful but darn me if they aren't glass cannons!!!

@RepressedObeseCat 16 дней назад

@nocturnal101ravenous6 15 дней назад

Its a cheaper Apprentice blade, I know its $3k but that is relatively cheap a modern masters work sell for $100k over there. So you are bound to have some issues in possibility as they are learning and they are complex to make.

@markfergerson2145 15 дней назад

I had the same thought about consistency of hardening, and your suggestion that it be tested along the length of the edge is, uh, on point as the kids say. If it was indeed traditionally clay hardened as the hamon shows, the sword may not have reached optimum temperature or it may have been quenched too slowly. I can’t think of any other explanation for that rolling.

@markfergerson2145 15 дней назад

@@RepressedObeseCat Nothing was said about any loosening or rattling, and as critical as both Shad and Tyranth are about such things I expect there wasn’t any. But then it only took two hard hits- three if we count the PVC pipe. I guess we will find out for sure after the destructive testing.

@@einarr7301 Sure BUT they are also expected to be able to parry other katanas. Rolling is a sign the blade isn't hard enough (otherwise it would have either received no damage or have chipped if it were too hard) and rolling on a relatively soft material like PVC... that is inexcusable. I mean they are at the very least expected to be able to cut bone and that is about twice as hard as PVC. Not a good look. So... this one is shit and I wouldn't pay $200 for it. Striking the top of the pvc at that shit angle I would expect it to take a warp, bend, or set due to not being spring steel but an edge roll? Naw they dun fucked up the heat-treat.

@cairnex4473 15 дней назад

Couldn't agree more. Speaking as a bit of a steel nerd, what most people fail to understand is that modern, high end steels simply far exceed the best steels that were ever even possible in the past and it doesn't matter how laborious or traditional the sword making process was or how many times the steel was hammered and folded it doesn't make any difference, modern steels are just better. The entire reason all that laborious processing and folding was done in the first place was because of the relatively unrefined quality of traditional raw materials and it was necessary to literally beat the impurities out of them. If you start with decent quality modern steels and process them in the traditional method you introduce oxide scale impurities into them and actually make them chemically and structurally worse.

@tn1881 15 дней назад

The steel used in modern, reputable high-quality Japanese knives is the same as the steel used in Katana. Japanese steel company Hitachi Metals developed Yasugi Specialty Steel (yasuki hagane) around 1970 by analyzing tatara steel and tamahagane. Yasugi Steel has the same properties as katana, so it is hard, impact resistant, and hard to break. Yasugi Specialty Steel is used for a variety of purposes, including knife steel, high-grade kitchen knife materials (Kai Corporation, Zwilling), razor materials (Gillette, Schick, Wilkinson razor steel), automobile parts materials, automobile engine parts, aircraft engine parts, etc.

@Nathan-vt1jz 16 дней назад

The Katana made in Japan are highly regulated/restricted to be produced by the traditional method as a cultural art. The steel for these swords is deliberately produced in limited quantities. All of this drastically limits supply, creates prestige, and radically drives up the price. For Japanese katana it’s better to treat the pricing like the modern art market (though not as extreme). However, unlike modern art Japanese Katana are actually beautiful and skillfully made. 😅 I think there’s value in doing it the traditional way, even if it’s not as strictly functional as swords made with modern materials and methods (modern steel is impressive).

@conor7154 12 дней назад

@Kelnx 12 дней назад

Yes but unfortunately a lot of people think all of that translates to traditional Japanese katanas being superior swords, when in reality they just aren't. And people think any traditional way of making steel or swords is superior to what can be accomplished with modern techniques and materials and that certainly isn't the case. A katana like that is a piece of art and a piece of history-by-proxy and should be regarded as such. And that doesn't take away from what it is in the slightest.

And like most high price tag art, they largely get used in money laundering schemes. It's very easy to "launder" large amounts of dirty money with art, since the price is totally subjective. Nobody can really argue this or that art piece isn't worth millions, because it doesn't really have any value at all beyond what someone is willing to pay for it.

Japan legally enforces the traditional method of katana making since they have strict weapon laws. The katana is given an exemption since it’s considered a cultural heritage, but that includes the requirement that it’s made in the old way as an artistic expression. Anything outside of that would be considered an illegal weapon and destroyed, even including other stuff considered antique like those officer swords made for the Imperial Japanese Army in WW2 (hence why most still existing of those swords are in the US taken as war booty by American GIs). So since everything must be made in the traditional way otherwise it’s illegal, that drives up the price considerably.

Yea if you think about it, in medieval Japan, if you see a brightly dressed man with an even more brightly colored and "bedazzled" sword by his side. You wouldn't want mess with him even if he was a novice. Its a testament to wealth and money can be just as dangerous as that sword at their side.

@wrongeden3420 12 дней назад

@@newp0rt I'm not saying a good looking sword is a strong one. besides the blade itself can be completely ordinary and well forged, it would be the handle and sheathe that is fancy anyway, that wouldn't effect the blades quality. Normally you wouldn't see someone else's blade out of its sheathe anyway.

@Xearrik 14 дней назад

It's interesting to play the parts where they got their edge alignment off frame by frame. You can really see what they did wrong. Like in the horizontal cuts I saw a few where they were rotating the blade down into alignment during the later part of the swing and not making it before the mat was hit. Use the < and > keys without holding shift to go frame by frame on a paused video btw.

@youjanitube 15 дней назад

I like how disappointed Tyranth was. I think there is a reason why Japanese culturally have been obsessed with Katana superiority myths, and why their pop culture is even based on depicting these blades cutting through even tree trunks. Miracles entertain people. At the same time, these Katana swords were not meant for cutting into plate metal armours either. For the time in feudal Japan it worked well enough. Our current standards and expectations from a steel probably comes from that fact that our current technology allows for much more durable steel products than these traditionally made blades. After all no blacksmith had an electron microscopes to test metal structures while developing their working methodologies. I like how Shad was realistic about the expected performance of the blade. Got hyped up and sobered up by a piece of plastic tube... :) Great job guys. PS: please don't waste that sword for a destructive test. It is a peace of artwork nothing else.

@TresTrefusis 16 дней назад

Not surprised it took the set, Katana are pretty good at that when they are properly deferentially hardened because the spine is softer and bends easier. Also, japanese words don't use S's for plural, hearing "katanas" is... grating lol. There is one katana. There are many katana. Beautiful sword though. I think people underestimate how weak swords were in general if you go back to ancient materials and methods. Plenty of broken European swords found in battlefields as well.

its the same with guitars 90-200/250 price point are Beggnnier grade so they are your first banger to use car terms 250- 500 is when you want better quality in playability decent tuning stability more comfort. 500 to1000 price point you want it to be special and a work horse and have unique things from pickups to more exotic woods and build quality 1000- 2000 is the basic of close to custom level of guitar build best wiring , pickups, woods, tuning machines, Bridges and a x factor fit and finish. 3000 plus so we are talking vintage so 30-70+ years old for some brands ie Fender, Gibson, Taylor, Grestch, Martin etc and into custom built and fully customised guitars so you expect flawless perfect objects that make you feel special when you pick them up.
