Thank you John

@0MTH2HRS3EYES9 it's called a Kaku obi belt there either 2 inches wide, or 3 inches wide. Mine is a 3 inch wide, I've seen people use judo belt, the problem is, you can only put one sword in it,were the obi belt makes layers around you to separate the swords . Amazon carries them, ones you tie yourself, and ones that are already tied. When it comes to tieing the obi belt, there different ways to do it,so you can find one that suits you. Hopefully this answer your question and was helpful.

it’s very fire

@outlawsamurai47 yeah I've would have put on my dogi,but it's in the triple digits here.

@@gargoylesblade I get that

@outlawsamurai47 nope I watch skallagrim,have for for long time.

@@gargoylesblade ok great vid bro

@outlawsamurai47 thank you outlaw

@@SpaceGhost182 for sure

No,it wasn't a novelty. Even though there was no war between clans anymore, doesn't mean there wasn't any conflict. There were those who still held a gruge at the shogun, not to mention if you were able to assassinate a samurai it was still a big deal, so it was practical, it just turned into another way of defending them selves.

yeah this take completely negates the reality of surprise attacks in the early edo period post sengoku would have been a very intense time and i can only imagine how many people were out for blood

The kogarasu is a fun one for sure, and you do have an advantage with the back being sharp, the back side just isn't as sharp as the front, but it will definitely cut someone

One thing I will say though is there are a lot more things at play than just furniture at higher price ranges. While originally made fittings are nice, balance, edge geometry, weight, pob, and fit and finish are all more important to me. While I loved my siwode for a 118 dollar sword, I would not have loved it at 300. There are certain things that are undeniably done better in higher price ranges, if there weren't those price ranges would cease to exist. My dragon King at 400 blew my siwode out of the water in every way, my Z-Sey blew my dragon King away. You get what you pay for with hand crafted items imo.

True, but you can still get a bad sword even at that price range, I have a 400 dollar katana, and it's not going to make to the list,for great handling sword.

I am also a firm believer in you get what you pay for. That being said, I have a Huawei that is in the $800 range and it's a bit cumbersome. Not too bad but you definitely know your handling something significant over an unokubi zukuri. 99% of the time when you pay more money for a katana you get a better product. In my experience anyway

​@@gargoylesblade i agree with karl. Ive had less budget katana problems on swords ive paid more for.

@hunterriemer5089 it will, so you have to use a really fine stone to bring it back out,the process takes a while to do.

@@hunterriemer5089 agree, personally I like the more traditional look,with a nice polish

@armoredsweatpants3997 thank you armor

@user-tp9gy8kt2q thank you for the kind words, it's funny how all other channels will do high end swords, which is fine, but not everyone can afford that,and that is why I will always look for good or great swords that others get,and enjoy. Yes siwode doesn't get the credit it deserves for sure. Unokubi are great to get and very nimble.

Thank you for the suggestion ,I normally try to do double, but I have to resurface the tops of my cutting stand first.

Prepared survivalist, Matthew Jensen is GIVEN a lot of those swords.. I'm sure that LOTS of content creators would be more adventurous with targets and swords if someone dropped off a ton of them to choose from..

@@user-tp9gy8kt2q Yea, but I mean these are hundred dollar swords and you could just use one or two of them for the more ambitious cutting demos. And its not like you have to go hog wild on rebar stakes. You could maybe just cut some doubles or different target mediums.

..Glad you have such an easy time justifying the budget expenditures of other content creators, "PS." But YOUR channel doesn't exactly sport a "vast" budget either.. ..And if I ever need to view an 8 y/o video on how to skin a squirrel, or roll up some toilet paper, I know exactly where to start looking.. I didn't notice ANY "inexpensive" samurai sword related videos within your inventory..

@@user-tp9gy8kt2q I apparently mistakenly thought I was responding to gargoyleblades previously. But yea, we're not going to do the whole "I went to your page because thats the only thing i can try to do to dig up dirt on you, and then take a picture or video from your page and throw it back in your face to prove how bad you are and how clever I am." However, if you must know, I have many katana, for whatever thats worth.

They do,and really sharp out of the box

@armoredsweatpants3997 S.oN. dose do great work, we have 5 of them.

@@gargoylesblade they do, I’d like to buy more from them but it’s cost prohibitive to my budget😞

@@armoredsweatpants3997 I hear that

@@TONEDEAFSOUND hanbon does a great job.

this video is so cool to me because i bought a dremsword and a siwode because i saw how good they cut when you got them. siwode needs more respect and recognition i totally agree

@@TONEDEAFSOUND totally agree

@user-tp9gy8kt2q definitely when you can,get a siwode with the jabara-maki wrap, way different feel for sure. Thank you for watching, much appreciated.

Hey GB, has anyone confirmed who owns (or is related to) Siwode? Like, Onikiri has some collaboration with Musashi, who owns Musha. I have dealt with all three of them and have been satisfied with their products - but knowing that they regularly worked together did help put my natural suspicions to ease.

@user-tp9gy8kt2q I'm not sure, maybe something I'll look into

Thank you John it is much appreciated.

@armoredsweatpants3997 thank you armor, they are very nice swords

@Katana-Karl it certainly is, love the ito wrap done on these.

@preparedsurvivalist2245 siwode is the only sword company I know that does and for under 200 dollars, can't beat it.

You can achieve that with a 1000 grit stone, a good quality one.it doses take a little bit of work to get it,I personally use a 1000 grit kuromaku stone and a leather strop.my sharpness level I'd say is perty good, but I don't bring my edges to a razor neither, the edge doesn't stay that sharp after a bit, when cutting mats and bottles.
