      It's all about confidence bro, if you have confidence you could have a literal ass for a tsuba and still pull it off, but you could also have the coolest sword ever but without confidence its just gonna be cringe. If you're good at faking confidence you won't ever have to learn to lie.

    For a couple hundred bucks, that's pretty hard to beat. You get to pick exactly what you want, it's tough as nails and sharp as all hell. Not really a lot to complain about. Especially since it's not investment level money, so you aren't crying at the thought of actually smacking something. And let's be honest, if you're doing anything like the destruction tests with them, well, you're having a real bad day and the least of your concerns is a few chips on the edge. Lol. But credit where credit is due. That's some pretty good stuff right there.

    In defense of Shad’s saya- I think that was just his medieval sensibilities driving his choice, probably unconsciously. It does have a certain floral/vine flavor to it and as we know, that sort of naturalistic colorful decoration on sword sheaths was very popular in medieval Europe. Plainness, or rather understatement, was more the norm in medieval Japan as we see in Tyranth’s saya.
    Besides, Tyranth has no business claiming Shad’s saya is tacky considering that outright unhistorical anime tsuba.
    In any case the idea was to *personalize* their swords and in that perspective both are wild successes.

    That flame tsuba is either made wrong or applied wrong. Becasue the flame tongues should go upwards, as opposed to downwards! Unless you are planning to be Rurouni Kenshin and only strike targets with the back of your blade. Otherwise the aerodynamic properties are gonna be slightly off.
    And yes, in Demon Slayer this tsuba was in exactly as I said - flame up, not down.

      I felt it should be the other way around too, but in the show it's exactly like this in every shot I could find: the top of the flames are towards the edge side.

    Honestly except for the sheathe I think the wild-card looks the best. It just fits my tastes and the coloring on the blade is just too cool. I will say though that you've convinced me to buy a katana from them, that quality and durability is just insane.

    if no ones gonna say it, i will; the test katana is actually called "storm of clan sakai" from ghost of tsushima, best feudal japan game i ever played and am still playing.
    uff that name flamador is supposed to be bad but damn thats so cringe, i get the strong tendency to visit you guys and save that sword from this name alone hahah
    well but im from germany and cant even afford going to berlin right now, so thats how it is hahaha.
    awesome vid btw and it would be really interesting to see shad analyse the ghost of tsushima combat

      @@Markbell73 I agree. But Shad in several earlier video was being stubborn about the katana(yes there are flaws about it). But Shad being a medieval sword lover couldn't bring himself to say that he loves them.
      But this video shows us that he does and it is a video worth remembering.

      @@JustTooDamnHonest You might not recall back far enough. Shsd has mentioned more than once that he started out in his sword passion as quite a bit of a Weeb himself.
      His early martial arts training included a passion for kendo and Kenjutsu if I recall correctly.
      But he then quickly fell into Hema and European Swordsmanship.
      This is years back when all hus videos were just Shad in his library talking about stuff. This was back when I was listening to Shad, Skallagrim and La Metatron almost exclusively while playing No Man's Sky, almost day and night back in 2016/2017.
      Back when that game was almost shunned into non-existence by its early adopters, or almost all of them.
      I was enjoying the heck of exploring and underwater cave spelunking while listening to those ^ three talking about swords, fantasy, Roman history, and all the points where those intertwine.
      Oh, such good times.
      Anyway, point is, Shad is a bit of a weeb himself. He's just more embarrassed about it than Tyranth and many of us.

    If you have weight/pull with that company, have them make the Zatoichi stick sword with a button for the sheath that keeps it from falling out and make it a Ko-katana in length so is not super long and unwieldy .
