[@Ben_the_Ignorant]

The katana looks swifter but the war sword looks more powerful, I can see how the katana is for fencing with fast moves when the chinese sword feels like it's meant to destroy armor and shields with heavy strikes, or maybe horses.

[@ArfooHuroo]

I think the chinese warsword is meant for more lose quarters and slashing because of its more tip-heavy weight. The weight likely allows for a drawing cut much easier by use of its weight. Chopping as well, going through armor (heavy clothing) perhaps, but not metal of course... But moreso, it's just intimidating LOL

i came here after watching your review on the cold steel katana video love it man keen to learn more

[@jake384100]

Alright so I've gone frame by frame in nearly every single fucking sword slice on this video and I swear to fucking God that this man is either a superhuman or frame editing master because everytime the sword contacts the sword the immediate next frame is the bottle exploding with the sword already gone through it. This is fucking nuts dude sweet jesus I spent like thirty minutes looking at this clips with my friends and I cannot find one instance where the actual cutting of the bottle was slow enough for your camera to catch it. I have no idea how you have done this but I am more afraid for my life than I have ever been and I swear to God if I ever see you walking down the street I am running the fuck away because you could strike me down without me even realizing you had even unsheathed your blade.

[@franknbeanz147]

I enjoy both but that damn Katana needs some tweaking to the handle, not enjoyable when those knobs dig into your hand when chopping at something hard. a quick razor swipe on each side removed them and made it more comfortable to use

[@BlueFlame3500]

Is the war sword considered a slashing weapon?

[@ArfooHuroo]

BLUEFLAME it depends on what you call slashing vs cutting vs chopping , but yeah it can do all 3

[@horstnasenblut8364]

it is there to chop and slash.

[@antiliess]

BLUEFLAME invented by Song Dynasty , use it to cut off Mongol and jing ‘s horse feet

[@earth-planetofhypocrites180]

Why are these machetes and not swords? Especially the katana one?

[@ArfooHuroo]

Probably because they’re made differently

[@asmith7876]

They are extremely inexpensive models, made out of lesser steel, stamped out blanks, plastic handles...their real Chinese War Sword will run you over $300, this one is like $50 or less. Still fun to play with obviously!

[@jaketheasianguy3307]

The guy at Cold Steel who came up with the design said he always wanted to make a katana that everyone could buy because he has to save alot to buy a quality sword when he was young. Then he came up with a machete blade with inferior steel and traditional fittings yet still able to cut as good as a decent katana.

Hi from France, highly impressive video . I have the Cold Steel Chinese War Sword, the point of balance seems to be closer from the guard than the machete . It's heavier too .

[@YAOZII]

ED _ I’ll say the Chinese war sword machete , I have both , the Chinese sword machete is just a crazier and better blade in my opinion, it almost feels like a sword. Cuts better and more durable as well, and will be more effective fighting against people with other weapons, but hope you never need to though.

[@YAOZII]

ED _ but both are cool though, if you have the money definitely get both and try it out.

[@s_9089]

[@assassinmanx6128]

The katana to me is more space practical. Like if you have to run downstairs and start hacking at shit lol. The chinese sword is too bulky and not good in close quarters, well any sword over 2 feet long really isnt. Open big areas like a driveway? Yea the war sword will demolish but I just like the katana feel better. I traded/borrowed the war sword and let someone use my katana. To me the feel was slower and I can get off with the katana without as much maneuvering. All in all it's personal preference. Chinese sword for power/katana for speed.

@@ArfooHuroo Awesome, thanks! I've definitely been looking at it and may pick it up later on. If you're interested, you should check out the Marbles MR374 sword machete. It has a 22 inch saber shaped blade and I'd love to hear your opinion on it. The wooden handle will need some shaping and maybe wrapping. The edge will need touching up. Over all, I still highly recommend it for a single handed sword machete.

Yeah they really cut. 😊😊 Also home defense

[@chrislxxix3626]

At a mere aesthetical level, IMO I prefer the Chinese one, based upon Dadao swords. Katana machete is, hands down, reliable, but not so appealing to me :-)

[@chrislxxix3626]

I don't want to debate personal tastes at all, don't get me wrong, but I've saw those two Machete in person and, hands down, the Chinese one is more detailed (with the classic 'ring' a la Dadao sword), bigger, with more weight... heck, even in the guard those two 'wings' are quite pointed. While the Tactical Katana Machete leaved me with a 'Meh' feeling: ain't debating the quality of the blade etc eh, that's a very reliable product, only that didn't impressed me aesthetically speaking :-)

[@chrislxxix3626]

Well, keep in mind that, while indeed a 'Katana' is definitely more popular (and btw even thanks to Anime and such) than a Chinese Dadao, here we aren't talking about swords but Machetes. Arguably we can say that, more than a Machete, those two Cold Steel products really seems swords, but truth is, those remains very good quality, honest priced, Machete. Now, there's Katana and Katana: a real Nihonto, here where I live (Italy), starts from 4000 Euro, and, mind, nothing particular 'fancy' (e.g decorations etc). Still, a Japanese Tamahagane blade made from Japanese artisan masters, a Nihonto coming with all the authenticity papers etc Granted, 4000 Euro is a price tag not exactly affordable for everyone, plus, and this is extremely important, unless 'you' really are a Togishi, you don't want to use a real Shinken for cutting bottles and stuff, because 'you' can't resharp such a jewel... only a Togishi can -- this explain why a good one ask even $100 for 1 inches of blade! In sum, a real Katana Shinken is a "watch, don't touch" sort of relic. For practice, there's non Japanese Katanas, such Paul Chen, Cold Steel etc but, again, they are more priced than this one of the video... that's why Cold Steel boss, Lynn C. Thompson, invented the Katana Machete: for give to people that can't afford a real Katana (or a more priced imitation) the opportunity, but still, remains a machete.

[@chrislxxix3626]

Yes, I'm Italian. Lombardy region, northern Italy :-) Well, obviously Japan is an amazing nation, this is a fact. I love their traditions and traditionalism. I love what they achieved. But, not considering now at all China for their cheap quality, mass produced products and leaving politics out, let me tell you this, speaking only about swords and edged weapons only: China created amazing weapons. The Dadao sword is really intimidating. The Pu Dao, their Gim swords, the wolf teeth club etc those are very good weapons that every collector should have.

[@lucasnguyen9928]

Jacky Phantom HAHAHAHA nice one. Most Japanese culture originated in China. That includes, and is not limited to, the katana.

[@chrislxxix3626]

@Jacky Phantom Frankly I don't get why so many people (worldwide) undermine China and Chinese history/achievements so much :-) In Laoquan (probably I spelled this wrong) there's a very, very good sword tradition: they create very good quality blades.
