Haha its my only current option to get a daisho set so thought why not? Seeing theres alot of video about the tactical honshu, maybe i may grow to like a westerners take of a katana 😁
I like hearing your on these tactical katana,I did same and modified the handles as well with sageo crod i ordered to make work for me. Great video sir I enjoy your content.
Good looking sword but as you said not suited for Iaido. I would suspect that the sword would fatigue the practitioner due to the weight and may even cause muscle strain. I think its a good sword to have for cutting as I have noticed that people who practice cutting tend to use heavier swords. Thank you for the review.
I actually loved the blades themselves. I'm a large, 200 lb guy at about 5 ft 10 with a lot of muscle in my upper back and legs. The issue I had was similar as far as the rubber hilt. I hate that design. And the pommel was just awkward for me. I'm sure if it was based more on eastern European swords, it'd be fine design wise, but I'm not used to polish sabers. And the other issue is that with heavy usage, the pommel will actually fall off when using proper techniques. Definitely did not know the damage a pinky can actually do. 😅. So I'm in the process of changing the hilt. Thinking about using oak, wrapping it in leather and using paracord to wrap it. Oh the Saya is crap. Almost cut off a finger because the kirigata fell off suddenly. Looking at alternatives there too. With some modifications, they are serviceable weapons.
I have the set also, great looking swords. I agree with the katana being just a little 2 heavy. only the set I recently bought are not sharp at all. What’s the best way to sharpen these swords? I read somewhere that it can be done with a sharpener called accusharp. But that kinda raised my eyebrows a bit. For kitchen knives ok, but for this awesome set??? Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
