Your local tatami mat dealer must love you guys!

[@paintballin4real]

What impressed me the most of this video is that you're so confident in your blade, you even show a clip where the person doesn't fully cut through the meat, but finishes the cut with the sharpness of the blade. I've been shopping for a sword for a while now, but that made up my mind.

[@artfan101]

"What did you do at work today?" "Oh not much, just spent the day feeling like a samurai." Best job....ever...

[@kennywheelus6857]

I'd love to get paid to just test cut with swords all day,damn right it'd be the best job ever

[@araknidude]

"Would you like to tell me why you want this sword?" "Yes, I'd like to cut a pig clean in half with one swing."

[@flemmingbojstrup871]

This is what I love about your videos. You go out of your way to prove how effective your weapons are. You don't just tell people to buy your stuff. You get wood, meat, car hoods... You PROVE it's quality.

PREPARE TO TASTE COLD STEEL!

[@chrisk5258]

Non authentic swords actually perform significantly better than authentic ones. The quality of modern steel is so much better than that of when swords were actually used, so naturally, modern swords are of higher quality.

[@enjoymusic4895]

Cold steel is good sword.. but authentic hand forge japanese katana or nihonto by Japanese master SwordSmith is another league... Masterpiece Nihonto no need for polishing every 10 years.. after marathon torture test...

[@VulpesFidelis]

This is probably the only katana durable enough for use in a zombie apocalypse... Really, it's a beast. Amazing sword, guys. :o)

[@uglymages]

No joke, when my family was poor and we couldn't even afford to pay our satellite tv bill. We still got a few free channels and one of them always had this show and other knife/sword selling shows on at night. It was either this or watching church services, lets just say, you guys got me through some long nights.

[@schuylerleithulfr788]

What sold me was "Be your friend that you can trust on for life." My sword is my guardian and my equal, a half of me that I'm nothing without. It protects my home and makes me stronger. I'm sold guys, I want one of your products.

[@chrismc410]

How you feel on your sword is how I feel on my Browning Hi-Power, Yugo M48A, Yugoslavia's version of the Mauser K98k and the Norinco SKS. All have been faithful friends, saved my life more than once. Feels reassuring. Made in the era where iron and wood still ruled firearms. I'll be the first to say there is NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING wrong with polymer. I even own two polymers: a first gen Walther P99 in .40 and a Gen 3 Glock 21. HK and Glock with the VP70 and Glock 17 respectively injected much needed new blood in firearms development but there there is something about iron and wood. Weight is not always a bad thing. It can work for you too. That said those three weapons are part of me. There in defense, never failed, accurate and still effective even without ammunition. Butt stroking or pistol whipping works much better with you have all steel/metal construction. Beating the bad guy to death is very much an option if need be.

[@MasonC2K]

The vice grip bend was the most impressive thing to me. That's far more extreme than any realistic combat scenario.

[@hydex2885]

LOVE THE KATANA! Personally, as someone who is into martial I thought this was awesome. Keep up the awesome work cold steel, YOU DA BEST!

So compared to a clay tempered sword from hanbon forge ?

[@Erebus.666.]

@@ZeroFcksGven Surprisingly, it'll beat it all day. And you won't cry so much if you chip it, which isn't likely. Clay tempered swords were great back in the day, but with steels nowadays, a mono forged blade will beat those old blades(hands down).

So I can see from the blade demonstration that it could theatricality cut a human in half if one needed to use it in a self defence capacity to protect ones own life

[@technomancermagus8357]

In a real fight you would never swing a sword hard enough to cut somebody in half because it would be very easy dodge your attack and if the person did so you'd be completely off balance and open to any sort of counter strike they would care to toss at you. Not only that but you don't need to cut somebody in half to defeat them.

[@halomanXP]

one question can i custom make the hilt or the pattern on the blade or even have it engraved by the handle? If so how much would it raise the value. And last question is it possible to change the color of the blade always wondered that.

[@Akitobozu]

TWO QUICK QUESTIONS. When doing the 530 + tami mat cuttings how many times did you have to resharpen the sword? Second question when doing pullups with it did it leave a permanent bind in the sword. I know if done with a normal katana it will leave a mark.

[@asiry258]

Cool sword, but you guys are serious dorks.

[@devilhunterred]

The katana is probably the most overrated weapon ever in contemporary culture. The katana is undeniably an amazing weapon that utilizes some of the most advanced and ingenious steel making techniques in medieval ages, but *_ONLY_* in the context of Japanese medieval warfare. The katana is a double handed single edge blade designed specifically to slash and cut, and this works wonders on a battlefield in 14th century Japan where soldiers only wore light-medium armor called o-yoroi composed of individual iron plates but mostly wood and leather. *_Place a samurai army with well crafted katana in any other contexts, however, and they would be completely out of their elements._* For example, the lengthy, double handed and slashing nature of the katana would be completely useless in Roman phalanx warfare where legionnaires are stacked in close, compact formation surrounded by shields. This is why the small, light weight, single handed gladius designed to impale and thrust is the ideal weapon. Place the samurai in 15th century Chinese warfare and they would be utterly out reached by the long Ji, shot by hand cannons, or simply trampled to death by the sheer number of soldiers running on the field. Pre-modern Chinese warfare emphasizes on mobilizing massive armies and utilizing military tactics and strategies (The Art of War) , this is why long reach weapons such as the halberd, and ranged weapons that can do area damage such as the repeating crossbow, fire arrow (rockets), chariots and siege weapons were dominant. Place the samurai with the katana on a battlefield in the central steppes of Asia, and they would be completely useless against the infamous Mongolian mounted archers that almost never engage in melee combat. My point is, the katana is indeed a remarkable blade weapon that should be revered and respected, but *_it is amazing only in its regional context of warfare within medieval Japan itself. Weapons are designed to win battles within their geographical, cultural and historical contexts to meet its unique strategic needs, this is why every culture invented its own unique set of weapons._* The Scots fighting against heavy armored English knights have the claymore, Romans with their tight Phalanx formation have the gladius, western Europe with heavy armored knights have the longsword, Chinese have the ji and primitive gunpowder weapons to fight in battles with massive armies , Arabs have the scimitar to slash and cut on horseback, the Mongols fighting in the vast barren steppes have the composite bow, etc. There is no such thing as "best sword (or weapon) of them all". *_The notion that the Japanese katana is sacred, a symbol of bushido and an invincible weapon is in fact a relatively modern idea, invented by the Japanese Imperial Empire in WWII, and indoctrinated into the Japanese people to revitalize and romanticize Japanese history and nationalism._* After the losing the war, as a way to revive national pride, Japanese manga, anime and pop culture further romanticize their history by elevating the katana, which has then become a symbol of Japan, into its current almost legendary status. And now Weeaboos, Wapanese and people who have watched too many movies and anime who are also completely uneducated about history mistakenly believe Katana is the best sword ever made by man and is superior to any other swords. So, now you know the truth and history of the katana, stop with this nonsense.

[@Bang4BuckPCGamer]

fuck off its too long, take that shit somewhere else

[@JimiJons]

There are a few misinformed errors with your essay, but the most important one is the fact that all of your arguments follow the assumption that the Katana was the primary fighting weapon for the Japanese soldier. It wasn't. Not even for the Samurai. Additionally, the Romans abandoned the Phalanx very early in their military history, moving away from spears and rigid immobility. In fact, the Roman Marian legions were extraordinarily effective at _fighting_ phalanxes. Alright, fuck it, I might as well waste some time. "Place the samurai in 15th century Chinese warfare" This is a moot point. Place the Samurai in 12th century Chinese warfare and the more disciplined and heavily armed Japanese warriors would cut through the poorly trained, poorly led, and undisciplined mass conscripts of the Song dynasty. Place the Samurai in 1st century Chinese warfare and the Japanese soldiers would be run down by the heavy cavalry of the professional armies of the Han Empire. Comparing armies between different regions in different time periods gives no useful information and doesn't prove any point. An army of 1,000,000 Zulu warriors would be utterly massacred by a single AH-64 Apache helicopter. "Place the samurai with the katana on a battlefield in the central steppes of Asia" Again, this statement doesn't prove much, but at least the time frame for this comparison is more equivalent. The Steppe tribes, specifically the Mongols, defeated virtually every major military power in the world at the time. They conquered everything from East Asia to Western Europe (where, yes, they fought and defeated heavy European knights). The Samurai would've been defeated either way. "this is why every culture invented its own unique set of weapons" No set of weapons is truly unique in any culture. Swords are swords. There are different types that have different strengths and weaknesses or that are used in different contexts, but they are all long metal (or stone) blades embedded in a hilt, and they can all be used to slash, cut, or stab. Swords are found in every culture. Maces are found in every culture. Hammers are found in every culture. Spears, polearms, bows, shields, etc. The Japanese armies of Samurai times were very similar to armies of pretty much any other culture. They all used combined arms. They all (mostly) relied on a core of infantry using a wide variety of weapons, supported by archers and artillery, and deployed cavalry either as a harrying pursuit force or a heavy shock force. A Japanese army with Samurai could very well have defeated a European army with Knights and vice versa. I do agree with one thing though. "There is no such thing as "best sword (or weapon) of them all"."

[@devilhunterred]

JimiJons Romans never abandoned the Phalanx, they just modified it. Yes they stopped using the spears, that's why they adopted the gladius, which is better at fighting at close quarter in tight formations. Roman army was never known for its mobility or speed, using heavy armored infantry had always been its core strategy in battles. *_"Comparing armies between different regions in different time periods gives no useful information and doesn't prove any point."_* Samurai with katana existed in the 15 century, comparing them with 15th century Chinese army is neither moot nor irrelevant. *_"Place the Samurai in 12th century Chinese warfare and the more disciplined and heavily armed Japanese warriors would cut through the poorly trained, poorly led, and undisciplined mass conscripts of the Song dynasty."_* Arguable. Song army had overwhelming numerical advantage, as well as technological advantage like primitive rockets, grenades, and very advanced crossbows, the very same weapons Mongols used later to utterly defeat the Japanese samurai in their invasions. *_"A Japanese army with Samurai could very well have defeated a European army with Knights."_* Very unlikely. Japanese had no counters against heavy mounted cavalries, Japanese also had no weapons that could easily penetrate heavy plate armor. *_"No set of weapons is truly unique in any culture. Swords are swords. There are different types that have different strengths and weaknesses or that are used in different contexts, but they are all long metal (or stone) blades embedded in a hilt, and they can all be used to slash, cut, or stab. Swords are found in every culture. Maces are found in every culture. Hammers are found in every culture. Spears, polearms, bows, shields, etc."_* Your argument is idiotic and absurd. It's the equivalent of saying all languages in the world are the same, they are just sounds made by humans to communicate; or all food in all cultures are all the same, they are all just carbs, water, protein and calories.

[@JimiJons]

*"Romans never abandoned the Phalanx"* Yes they did. The Marian legions reorganized into an army of sword, shield, and javelin foot soldiers who utilized numerous different formations, many of which do not resemble a phalanx in the slightest. *"they just modified it."* They didn't modify anything, the abandonment of spears makes it impossible to form a spear-wall. This is common sense and you seem to lack it. And before you start spewing nonsense about how Norse shield walls and schiltrons are just "modified" phalanxes, we're going to lay down an objective definition for the phalanx so as not to have you begin confusing every group of people standing in a line as a phalanx: A distinct formation of hoplites or other heavy infantry armed with spears and shields forming a tight set of linear ranks with spears leveled forward. *"Roman army was never known for its mobility or speed"* Is this a joke? The Roman army is _renowned_ for its mobility. The Roman army is _renowned_ for its ability to reform and move tight formations of heavy infantry quickly. Do you have any knowledge of military history at all? *"comparing them with 15th century Chinese army is neither moot nor irrelevant."* It is both entirely moot and entirely irrelevant. The vast bulk of every Japanese army in the 15th century consisted almost entirely of cavalry and light infantry armed with lances. This is a far cry from the Samurai armies of the 16th and 17th centuries. *"Arguable."* No. *"Song army had overwhelming numerical advantage"* Which meant nothing. The Mongols can attest to that. *"as well as technological advantage like primitive rockets, grenades"* Both primitive and relatively ineffective until later developments. *"Very unlikely."* Not at all. *"Japanese had no counters against heavy mounted cavalries"* Yes they did. Spears and pole arms have been the classical counter to heavy cavalry throughout all of human history. *"Japanese also had no weapons that could easily penetrate heavy plate armor."* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanab%C5%8D *"Your argument is idiotic and absurd."* Ironic retort, coming from an idiot. *"It's the equivalent of saying all languages in the world are the same"* Silly strawman. It is not even _remotely_ equivalent to saying that different systems of verbal communication are identical. "all food in all cultures are all the same, they are all just carbs, water, protein and calories." This one is slightly better. It's still moronically fallacious, but it's a better comparison.

[@devilhunterred]

JimiJons *_They didn't modify anything, the abandonment of spears makes it impossible to form a spear-wall*_ The Roman never abandoned the phalanx, like I said, they used a modified version. Instead of having a rectangular shaped formation, the Romans used thinner ranks of only 1-3 men to form a line. It's still stacking shields with men beside you, using shields and heavy armor to engage the enemies and holding the line. OMFG!! Romans used swords instead of spears!!! Big deal. *_"Is this a joke? The Roman army is renowned for its mobility. The Roman army is renowned for its ability to reform and move tight formations of heavy infantry quickly."_* No they weren't. Speed is relative. Compare Romans with the Huns or any light armored "barbarians" they were fighting against: How were Romans known for their speed and mobility? *_"It is both entirely moot and entirely irrelevant. The vast bulk of every Japanese army in the 15th century consisted almost entirely of cavalry and light infantry armed with lances. This is a far cry from the Samurai armies of the 16th and 17th centuries."_* They are called Ashigaru, while forming the bulk, the samurai was still the core elite of any Japanese army. And the whole point was to compare samurai and his katana sword with the rest of the world in the relative same time period. Therefore, it is neither irrelevant nor moot. *_"No."_* Yes. *_"Which meant nothing. The Mongols can attest to that."_* Mongols were using unconventional military strategies and tactics with their cavalries to harass, raid, loot, slowly depleting the Jing of their resources, ability and will to fight. Arguably history's first major scale guerrilla warfare. The Japanese fought an almost overly conservative infantry based close quarter battles in their wars, something right up Chinese's alley. Do you know anything about military history? *_"Both primitive and relatively ineffective until later developments."_* The Mongols were using the same "primitive and ineffective" weapons to utterly defeat the samurais in their invasion of Japan, and they would have taken over Japan with their fleet if not for typhoons. Look up the origins of the Kamikaze. *_en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanab%C5%8D*_ Having a mace doesn't mean you are now a heavy plate smashing expert. Japanese never dealt with heavy steel plate armor before, neither was the Kanabo a popular weapon that most samurai had experience wielding. *_"This one is slightly better. It's still moronically fallacious, but it's a better comparison."_* Glad you agree your argument of saying all weapons are essentially the same is utterly retarded.

[@Akitobozu]

I know that after 20 tami mat cuts i have to resharpen my blade of my current sword. If your blade it that durable what do you use to sharpen it. Can you use regular wet shone or do you have to buy a special kit.

[@WeaverJ576]

A properly made Katana (as this appears to be) never needs resharpening. I would suggest the Dojo Pro model from RoninKatana . com if you find you need to resharpen anything (this sword or any other Katana). Firstly, I can pretty much guarantee that you don't know how to resharpen correctly & secondly, on a good sword you never need to so….. Cheness also makes pretty hardy swords out of 9260 spring steel that survived the SwordBuyersGuide torture test and received a 4 star rating. The Dojo Pro model from Ronin Katana received 5 stars. Both of these swords are under $300 MRSP (Tax + Shipping may push it slightly over.

[@HaloLvl43Legit]

(Forgive me if I can't explain this problem I've had with the last sword I bought, not one of yours.)One thing I want to clear up is if you guys can guarantee that the sword won't become loose after prolonged use (I would never put the sword through what you did but I swing a katana hundreds of times at air during a single practice.)one thing I hate is when a sword becomes loose from it's tang it will make a clicking noise every swing as it's not tight in place, will your swords remain fastened?
