Your katana collection is epic Byrd 😎 👌, I don't know much about this type of cutlery but I can definitely see the appeal in collecting such beautiful pieces, your knowledge in this field is second to none brother, your definitely a master of your craft, outstanding video brother

dam brother I can't tell you how awesome it is to see you out there cutting brother

[@samuraibyrd]

I appreciate that Joe!! It feels great!

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Absolutely fantastic to see you cutting brother! Great job! Absolutely gorgeous blade and you can tell you really vibe with it very very fluid on the cuts even when you said you were getting a little sloppy it was still very fluid Good job man

[@samuraibyrd]

Thanks Scab, I appreciate it,brother. Great job on your channel,definitely rockin KZbin’s foundation!!!

[@addictedtoblades2]

Very nice work on the katana Byrd, nice job cutting, good to see you at it😎🗡❤️🔥

[@samuraibyrd]

Thanks John!!

[@Nidaito]

Great work on the tsuka-maki of that katana. And the cutting was even better! It’s a slow road to recovery, but we’re glad to see you back Samurai Byrd!

[@samuraibyrd]

Thank you very much,and im glad to be back,thanks for watching

[@KF1]

11:55 nice focus, that moment was very zone. I like how you include the cutting on different targets and don't rush anything. Fair point about the deeper fuchi acting to hold the tsuka together better. Lately here it's all about the full samegawa wraps for that reason. Cutting hard targets, a little extra structure adds a lot of confidence to the handle. Gluing them permanent also helps, as I never really take them off anyway. Gorilla glue works for everything sword-related, just gotta use only a tiny bit.

[@samuraibyrd]

I love my gorilla glue,it does work for everything on a sword

[@erichusayn]

Just a tiny, tiny bit. I learned the hard way. Lol

[@armoredsweatpants3997]

Very cool review!, it’s refreshing to hear someone talking about something besides cloudhammer (over saturation) your tsukamaki looks great!, very cool cutting!, awesome vid!

[@samuraibyrd]

Lol,I though so as well. Thanks Sweatpants!!

[@Mark-sd7fc]

I’m not a sword guy, I watch your videos because I think you’re a good dude, I’m really happy to see you doing well, swinging your blades is probably the best physical therapy for you, because you enjoy it, my knee replacement therapy was F-ING brutal, Have a great weekend buddy!!

[@samuraibyrd]

Thanks,yeah ,swinging my swords us actually very good therapy for me,physically and mentally

[@Mark-sd7fc]

@@samuraibyrd do you have pocket knives also? Ever heard of civivi knives? I own 2 and really like them

[@samuraibyrd]

@@Mark-sd7fc i do have a couple knives,one is a civivi and i like it very much. I have a petrified fish that is very nice also. A couple butterfly knives a couple big fixed blades and a two-sun is the extent of my knife collection so far.

[@zednotzee7]

That is a beautiful sword, and it's nice to see you getting back into cutting. I could see you were getting a bit frustrated at times, but you shouldn't worry about it. You'll get back to normal in the end. but these things take time. And as I've found before now, the older you get. the longer they take lol. But I dare say you'll soon be back in your old cutting form. 🙂

[@samuraibyrd]

Thanks Zed, i hope so. Im doing to therapy,its been working so far.

[@FrithjofMiyamoto]

The sword looks really good! I like the contrast of the tsuka ito and the dark ray skin. Your movements have become much more fluid and precise. And your sword collection is awesome! Always cool to watch your videos sword bro

[@samuraibyrd]

Thank you very much

[@BlindOwl-Outdoors]

amazing how it sliced through that mat even with a straight cut, fantastic video

[@samuraibyrd]

Thank you sir!

[@WKNDER1]

looking good brother!! this is a sexy blade i dig it!! so i just have to email them and say i want a Samurai Byrd model?? Love seeing you cut man glad your back at it!! Can't wait for more!!! Keep on keeping on!!!!

[@samuraibyrd]

Thanks Thrasher! Yep,but i would suggest lacquering ito wrap or order it in a different color(dark brown,blue,green,black)

[@erichusayn]

Good review, and it's great to see you out cutting despite limitations. I also can tell where the levelest ground in your yard is. Lol.

[@erichusayn]

Some nice doubles in there too.

[@erichusayn]

Only 3!!!!??? Lol. Buy 2 more and call me in the morning.

[@erichusayn]

Good call on the hishigami. In order for them to work properly, the tsukamai has to be done right and very tight.

[@erichusayn]

I agree on the safety tip. Thays how I do it

[@erichusayn]

The cows mooing in the background takes this video to a whole new level.

[@AgouraSteve]

Cool sword! Nice wrap. Great cut at 03:04

[@samuraibyrd]

Thanks Steve,hope you are doing well

[@AgouraSteve]

@@samuraibyrd I’m doing good. I’ve just been lazy about cutting. Really into spending my free time loving on my fiancé. I’m glad your feeling good enough to get back to cutting.

@@samuraibyrd Aw thanks man.

[@BlindOwl-Outdoors]

hi, Love the intro, what an amazing sword looks wonderful, great slicing, Take care and be safe...

[@samuraibyrd]

Thanjs Dan

[@gargoylesblade]

Great to see back on the screen 👍. That unokubi nice, I have to agree to,they should feel nimble in the hands. Mine from hanbon is well balanced and weighs 2 pounds 3 ounce. Murasame does make a nice katana, my shinogi from them I really like the color scheme, the saya is nice, just wasn't impressed with the L6.

[@samuraibyrd]

Thanks man! Yeah,that’s a bummer about your sword. More companies are starting to use L6 though.

[@daniellopezeverest]

Very cool thank you for sharing how scratched up did that sword get with the bottle cuts and bamboo cutting? I am also really interested to see how much the lemon juice will make the Hammond pop out! Thank you for sharing! :-)

[@samuraibyrd]

Thanks Daniel,it was very scratch resistant. Bamboo doesn’t scratch as bad as bottles. Ive used lemon juice several times. It takes several wipe downs with washing with soap in between.

[@daniellopezeverest]

@@samuraibyrd very cool thank you do you put the lemon juice on the whole blade or just on the Hammond part?

[@samuraibyrd]

@@daniellopezeverest yes,i mainly just focus on the hamon,or the whole blade edge,not so much past the shinogi line.

[@daniellopezeverest]

@@samuraibyrd cool thank you! :-)

[@TONEDEAFSOUND]

i got a sword with this same blade geometry it’s absolutely my favorite one so far. really nice channel i like the form you use !

[@samuraibyrd]

Thanks,im working on a review for my new L6steel unokubi zukuri. Stay tuned

[@JoeSteel1]

yea its kind of weird that you got that much residues on the ito, makes me feel it's some kind of paint on the pieces that came off. what great performer on that bamboo, unokubi is like the best geometric, not much different that Shinogi in strength because of the reinforced tip and its so well balanced and aerodynamic to make it cut through the air more nimble...me personally I would keep away from ito that's too light in color, all in all great video Byrd, impressed 👍

[@samuraibyrd]

Yeah,light color ito can be a problem unless you lacquer it right away before using.

[@outlawsamurai47]

You know is I re-watch this I love the little thunk sounds that the tubes make every once in a while as byrd is cutting

[@samuraibyrd]

Haha,me too. Im not sure if its the blade clipping to PVC,or just the sound echoing in the pipe,lol.

[@KF1]

Great cutting session, and much respect for also showing the odd miss or fail. Got me curious about my Cloudhammer unokubi. Never thought of it as top heavy per se, so I'm wondering if there's some variance in the specs? Got my calipers out and measured the distal taper. Goes 7.2mm at the habaki, smooth transition down to 5.4mm where it kinda hangs out mid-blade, and only barely tapers again to 4.8mm, then back up again to 4.9mm just behind the kissaki. So yeah, I guess it is a bit top heavy! My only other unokubi is the Huawei, which weighs a full oz more, and feels about the same. Of the two, I prefer the Huawei over the Cloudhammer because... well just because. Hard to say why. Have dulled my CH down for an unokubi iaito, and keeping the Huawei sharp as the cutting version. Both are really nice imo. Sorry for the ramble but it seems like that kinda place :)

[@samuraibyrd]

Your always welcome to ramble on my channel,lol. Yeah, i think im going to dull my cloudhammer too,and use it strictly for practice. Its just way too top heavy for regular usage.

[@KF1]

@@samuraibyrd Liking it better as an iaito for sure. I find it helps to think of the CH uno as actually the handling of a light shinogi. Although nimbility is a thing lol. Much enjoying this review, lots of content packed in.

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being greater, how would you rank murasame's t10 in the unokubi, according to its cutting capability? Appreciate the video, it's pretty awesome

Cutting ability is top notch.for the price,yes a 10 !
