They used either this sword or the katana on the season 4 finale of The Boys!

Lucky man you are, Billy. Here I am imagining going to Outer Space, but here you are experiencing it! 😄

Showed them milk jugs no mercy. 😂

So first sword was an arming sword, second one a bastard sword ? Also are those specialized gloves?

After watching this video I went ahead and ordered 2 of them, one for cutting and abuse and another for pure enjoyment and wall decoration. Liked and subscribed, thx for this awesome video.

日本刀の様式で制作された部分が全く無いので、日本人はこの刃物に笑ってしまう。 「本州」も「戊辰」も日本刀につけるべき名前ではないし、このマチェットは「脇差し」とは全く別のナイフだ。

brittle steel

This is " not" a Wakezashi !!! But some bullshit sword.Stop giving Japanese names to not Japanese made things !!!

Ha!

i kinda need this cuz it’s tight

Just to clarify, if you have a small scratch on your blade, you just scratch the whole blade to fix it?

I guess esthetics are subjective. I never intended to own a katana at all. I now own 4 Ronin Katana Dojo-pros. I have one O-katana with Musashi style tsuba and a bohi, one "thunderstorm" tsuba Ko-katana, one "trapped Oni" Ko-katana with a red saya and a 30" bladed katana"trapped Oni" tsuba and red saya. I just ordered a 28" katana with a square tsuba and bohi and another 30" katana. I'm also waiting on a pair of Musashi style wakizashi with bohi. I've been surprised by the variety of blade styles. Add in tsuba design, sori, minuki, the variety of color combinations between the ray skin and the silk used to wrap the handle, etc... quite a variety. Just my opinion, though.

Thanks my dude saved my life

This is hilarious! Thank you for sharing this with me today, Billy!

I couldn't do 2:00 again even if I tried.

What’s your favorite style of sword?

This is dope! I hope you're still creating billy! you're dope!

Hey Bill, I see they sell that scabbard by itself for about a hundred. Is the opening of the scabbard 2 inches by 1/4 inch?

See those people up in the upper left? They mentioned me online on a completely different forum.

I won't make a mention toward the history of Ninjato, but one thing that is historically accurate is weapon black. Old school weapon black was made basically with grease and charcoal and would be used to remove the shine from a sword so a flash from the sun glinting off your weapon didn't give you away to a skilled archer.

Baluar IS Kult of Athena. It is their brand and they have used multiple forges to build the swords that they spec. They still have a bunch of sub $300 swords on offer including a 14th Century 2 hander and a 15th century arming sword. the 15th Century Italian Longsword is on "backorder"...but I'd say that's on "discontinued" as they no longer work with OTC. Some of the new preorder swords have gone to the $300+ and $400+ level.

Nice Iklwa! Have you done some back yard cutting with it?

When I see at close it reminds me of a Chinese Imperial Dao blade. Tell me if I'm wrong?

I own this sword I love it so much. Can’t beat it for the price.

Nice cut testing Billy. Glad to see you back in action. The Shinwa performs well and always feels nice to have a caliber budget blade. BTW, nice build on that stand you have there. I always just used a chair or table ima have to figure out how to make me a stand.

I don't know,,, if water gets into the scabbard, which it will since you can't seal it to your mouth,, it will be too much water to blow out, so you won't be able to use it. but,, the small straw,, you can blow it out if water gets into it, so it will work. I suggest an experiment. Fill the tub, lay down in it, and use the breathing tube. (wear swimwear and film it. )

If I were to bet,, I would bet the square tsuba was because at some point, a nice round shape that was symmetrical was too hard for someone to make, and they could cut a square easily,, so they made a prop, and that was cool enough that it carried into a film crew making it to the movie. ,,, but, squares are good, and better than circles when it comes to occupying space, which means it's a much better handguard,, and since today we don't wear so much fabric in a garment, the square will hang up less when drawing it, meaning it might be a better sword for the modern user. ((back-a-when with so much cloth, the pointy tips would have snagged,, but our clothes are lighter and closer to our bodies, so this won't be the same issue)). ---- I personally think regardless of historicity,, the square ninja sword is a good sword, maybe even superior for today's average joe.

Sometimes we need something just for our own "cool factor" feels. BUDK has a few of those guilty pleasure items, my favorite is the Honshu Karito Axe.

Great review! I bought mine today w/ initials from Museum Replicas! Someone called it, “generic perfection”. And that’s what I wanted. Your review helped!

Sorry, it's not a wakizashi, it's a katana. It's okay, by the way.

Nice job brother! Congratulations! Send me one lol

was that a drone cam? Nice

One of the star bolts free-wheeling when you try to tighten it? That's good reason to send it back.

Just a little tip; When you're filming, you should have light source behind the camera, not in front of it.

I like your cuts G, keep up with the content!

I've seen that sword before in the budk catalog and I have considered buying it everytime I seen it. I never did due to financial reasons. After seeing this review, it makes me want to go get it. Thanks for sharing your personal review.

Looks real nice. Better than anything dsa can produce....

You say your on a budget and can't afford even the 300$ -500$ stuff but have a bunch of low end stuff. Imagine if you had saved all the money spent on low end stuff you could buy something substantial. Just food for thought...

I paid 350 for a cold steel wakizashi a tiny bit heavy. Ultra durable

It’s huge. I prefer a shorter wakizashi

cooool

Yo Billy, when do we get to see another blade review??..

I actually like it! :)

Thats not a sword thags a machete for work......at least thats what you tell the popo when ur carrying it for defense

Hey, thanks for the video. Sometimes you just want to see it in hand, up close, and kind of carried around. A lot of more in depth reviews talk about the sword a lot, and show cutting, but it can be tough to just kind of see how the sword looks. Especially something like this that isn't a hugely popular piece. I like the look of this one, I think I'm going to get it for my brother's 18th birthday (bit of a tradition for my siblings, they get a sword when they turn 18, he's the last of the bunch).

"They're master works all, can't go wrong"

I had one and my brother lost it durning moving and it was nice

Billy, when and what is your next blade review going to be?

You should broadcast on Twitch as well
