A lot of the etiquette seems very similar to firearms etiquette. ie. muzzle in a safe direction, safety on until ready to fire etc. Very informative video. Nicely done.

Google surprises me in a good way sometimes. : 'googles parts of a katana for drawing' 'finds video that not only helps with drawing each piece and the relation to the hand but also ideas for shading' 'gets idea on how to better do the triptographic drawing by having each paper over lapping showing a sheathed blade to a drawn blade' Truly a wondrous bounty of knowledge, thank you.

I can tell that you really know your stuff but there is at least one exception. The bo-hi is not a blood groove as so many people tend to believe. The function of the bo-hi (or fuller) is to lighten the blade and provide audible feedback when swung. One of the purposes of the audible feedback is to insure that the blade is in proper alignment with the edge. The bo-hi has absolutely nothing to do with blood.

Actually you are correct and wrong. The katana is mostly for slashing, it also can be used for stabbing. So in doing so, without your bo-hi your katana would be hard to retrieve out of someone. Blood is quite thick and sticky, so it’s like glue. Especially if you are fighting more than one opponent. The blood thickens and dries quick. Hopefully you should not ever face an opponent or multiple, in this way.

There is no such thing as a blood groove , that "groove is there for gripping "hand assist " also perhaps you are saving for later teaching but bowing from seiza is done with the thumbs in under the hand not exposing them, I love your videos and your school.

cheness is decent quality blades. however in past couple years i saw their saya quality become somewhat poor. if your saya is bad i would get a new one from cheness. their swords are not light whimpy iaito that you usually find. they are quite beefy. i think their are a good buy also.

That's just the stereotype and myth. Everyone knows its just to remove weight off the blade.

So, can someone tell me: What does "Masamune" mean?
@heavymetalgaming714510 жыл бұрын
Depends on if you are talking about the person or the sword. There is a Masamune sword in the Final Fantasy series. Also, there was a man named Masamune who is widely regarded as Japan's greatest swordsmith, having created tachi and tanto swords and daggers. He is a legend.

Where can I find a good quality sword ? The reason is that I want to learn kendo and I want to have my own quality blade to have it as a display in my home.

Go for handmade swords (yes that is the name of the company) they have theyr own site and you can find them on amazon, they sell for dirt cheap comparing it to other swords and they look very nice and elegant, handmade and with rayskin handle. If you have the money ill say just buy them

Now that's a real sword, the hamon is the main telling factor.
@metalgear153410 жыл бұрын
I have no doubts that the hamon on this katana is real, therefore making the katana real as well. However, just because a hamon looks authentic doesn't mean that it is. There are many techniques that can be used to create an authentic-looking hamon that is actually a fake. Conversely, just because a katana doesn't have a real hamon, or no hamon at all (which is pretty much the same thing since a fake hamon wouldn't be created during forging) doesn't mean that the sword isn't real. There are many high-quality katana made without authentic hamon. In fact, I would say at least half of the katana that you find, probably more, won't have authentic hamon.

I cleaned my sword by spraying it with antirust metal cleaning spray and then whipe the blade with a soft towel. Did I do it rong?
