Getting back into it (Katana Practice)

[@KF1]

Reupload in an effort to fix an audio glitch, but I think it's still there. O well, whatever. Fun to get out there with the katana and dice up some bottles again. Thanks for watching

[@AgouraSteve]

You cannucks have lightning fast reflexes. So fun to watch. Especially the bottle half in half’s down the middle. Amazing cutting.

[@KF1]

Thanks, we build our strength by carrying canoes :)

[@SpaceGhost182]

This cant be the session where you felt slow... Youre lightning here brother! Dialed right in! Triple double and double on a single were executed so well. Always impressed by your cutting brother

[@KF1]

Thanks, man. Yeah was, tho I edited out a couple fails because they were boring. Maybe I was expecting too much. Wanted all the statics and that triple I had to abort. Appreciate the encouragement, man.

[@SpaceGhost182]

​@@KF1 no problem at all man, that was an epic session

[@saberserpent1134]

Nice triple on the milk carton!!

[@KF1]

Thanks, I was happy that the first two cuts didn't knock it over. My stand is getting kinda chewed up on top lol

[@saberserpent1134]

@@KF1 literally just sanded mine level, lol.

[@tempestbladeargus]

those straight down the middle cuts were amazing to behold

[@KF1]

Thanks, man! ahah lucky bounce

[@sinisterswordsman25]

Dude! That was metal! 🤘💀 very impressive as always! Nerdy metal dude had you in a tragically hip mood eh? The "and 1" double was sick man! I got something cool for you guys I'm just really indecisive about the edit. It's coming together should be ready soon

[@KF1]

ahah yeah exactly. Thanks, man. Was feeling down about this session but it's not so bad with a chunk of fails removed lol. That was the first time I ever tried 3 cuts on 2 bottles without some kind of stall. I think it's there, just needs practice. Looking forward to your vid

[@sinisterswordsman25]

@@KF1 Of course bro your cutting is boss! We all fail and have so so days, and if this is a so so day for you I think that really just shows how good you are lol if I hit a cut I've never tried before than I'm stoked even if I chop a few that session. I tried cutting a butter nut squash the other night, and I cut it right in half pretty much vertical but the line was very scooped so I was kinda down on it. I thought about later tho and I was being to hard on myself, I did cut it right on half. Maybe not the nicest cut but hey first try and those things are pretty though I was surprised. I'll probably post that too

@@sinisterswordsman25 I hear ya. Sometimes way too critical for no reason. Got this habit of obsessing over mistakes when I review my footage. Bob Ross says "I hope you're never satisfied. That's the best I could hope for, to be never satisfied, because that will push you forward"

[@sinisterswordsman25]

@@KF1 very true you can always do better lol I do the same thing I got my viking sword literally shaving sharp and I was like..."It shaves...but not cleanly...could be better." But at the same time... it's shaving sharp! How much sharper do I want it to be? I don't know but I'm going try to get it even sharper next time because im not 100% satisfied lol.

[@FortuneFavoursTheBold]

Very clean and decisive cuts with a cool cyberpunk mask on!

[@KF1]

Thanks, man! Considering getting an Oni mask for kicks, or maybe a Mandalorian

[@FortuneFavoursTheBold]

@@KF1 an oni mask would be super cool!

[@samuraikenchannel]

Nice cutting！

Thank you kindly!

hella good man great to see you working 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@KF1]

Cheers, man! Fun time. Happy cutting there

[@samuraibyrd]

Great work,nice 360* in there⚔️

[@KF1]

No it wasn't! lol thanks man

[@samuraibyrd]

@@KF1 well, i know you missed,but the form was spot on⚔️ I blame the bottle,lol

[@armoredsweatpants3997]

You’re not the only one, I couldn’t cut all summer and it shows, lol, great job! your a talented swordsman⚔️

[@KF1]

Thank you. Yeah it had been about 4 months since I swung a katana and was feeling rusty. Ran my mouth to SpaceGhost about a challenge and wasn't able to pull it off this time lol. Gotta buckle down. Cheers for watching.

[@kurotaro5761]

Yes! Come back nice cutting 👍👍👍

[@KF1]

Thanks, Kuro!

[@SaschaKremers]

nice to look at. There are some cool cuts there 👍

[@KF1]

Thanks!

[@Jaedeok82]

Got some real nice shots in there. Fun cuts and good camera work. Loved the 360 attempt

[@KF1]

Thanks, man. Was frustrated at that one, felt super slow but worth a try. Thanks for watching!

[@Jaedeok82]

@@KF1 Movement was good I thought, gravity is just faster. I think you need a static for it to work. Maybe try it on an OJ carton and you'll nail it.

[@KF1]

@@Jaedeok82 thanks. I thought it was too much upward hop, and slow to gain vision on the followup. Will try again, thanks for the encouragement.

[@bushimotter]

Nice session, Almost had that spin cut!

[@KF1]

Thanks, man! Yeah maybe a 6x6 would allow for a more stable stack. Kinda need it to stay put :/

[@KF1]

Btw about that tatami we were talking about.. I sat on a stack of mats for 5 years before cutting them. It's never too late :)

[@bushimotter]

@@KF1 Indeed, I do intend to cut them, I need to get my stand in shape and find a soaking tub.I almost got out today after seeing your fine session as well as a few from SpaceGhost182. I ended up with the staff in hand instead, but the cutting urge remains.

[@gargoylesblade]

Great cutting video,and nice movements.

[@KF1]

@@gargoylesblade Thanks, man

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

I liked the ninja mixer spin move. But its hard to cut close to the stand off a spin and that container limbo'd right under your blade.

[@KF1]

Thanks. True, I have to adjust the spin because the target is so close on the followup. lol Limbo!

[@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG]

Fantastic job man! That spin cut would have been epic, but only missed by a bloody hair 😕 Keep up the great work as always!! (What katana is that by the way?)

[@KF1]

Thanks, man. Will land that one eventually. Cutting with the Huawei 9260 unokubi. Fun sword.

[@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG]

@@KF1 No doubt, you literally JUST missed it. I’ve always heard good things about Huawei but whenever I had the $$$ there were none to be found, and when I didn’t have the money I’d stumble across one or two of them….

[@KF1]

@@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG Rock on. If you can ever find their 9260 on the used market, don't hesitate. I smashed the stand a ton of times, cut dowels, bottle caps, etc. The sword cost me $260 CAD in 2019, and it's way above value. Way stronger than Jkoo 9260 by a mile. Sometimes I think the tsuka alignment is a couple degrees off, but when swung it lines right up. Interior of the saya is rough, but that's the only bad thing I could say. Tsuka shaping is like the 1st Gen Cloudhammer, before they got fat.

[@KF1]

@@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG had been pushing John to return to the Gen 1 tsuka. Newer ones are made to please reviewers rather than cutters, way oversized and awkward (thanks Joe and Matthew Jensen, shit doesn't help, just made it worse) John sold me 3 defects in a row. He's a great guy but doesn't know shit about quality control. Will never buy from them again. No offense, but cutters gotta have the right equipment. The Huawei is it.

[@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG]

@@KF1 believe me, next chance I get I’ll be snatching one up! Yeah I got a JKOO through hardened 9260 shobu that I’ve never used, but did you have a bad experience with one?
