So what is the exact point of balance i wonder. Akado never wrote it down on their website, only length and weight. Also does the blade have the 6 sides geometry like a real blade with a thick blunt edge or is it flat like other "katana feder" on the market ?
The balance point is about two inches north of the guard. The shape is the most katana like I’ve used, but it is more flat simply so it can flex at impact. Compared with the Castille, it is much more katana like.
Looks real nice, I am waiting on my Katana from VB Armory and a custom order Wakizashi as well to make a matching set. Cant wait to practice and spar with them. It will be fun to see a German Messer and Japanese Wakizashi in a fight.
Oooh, I’ve never used a VB sword. I would imagine a messer would have similar mechanics, but I’m not an expert it it. Maybe my colleague at @Apperceptive_Swordsman would have better insight!
It’s complicated with A LOT of cultural and egotistical baggage. Historically the two mixed simply through contact. The only historical Korean manual we have has sections (whether they’re good or not) dedicated to saying some parts are Japanese. My personal view is that a sword is a sword, historically they’re so mixed and muddied it doesn’t matter unless one is a “purist” or a nationalist. If you look at Gumdo specifically…there are more similarities than differences.
@@thecrw8 In all functional ways that matter, they are the same sword. I personally use either a iaito or this sword when I train outside of Federation events.

Thanks for your videos; I have learned a lot. Can you tell me if there is a sustancial difference between a Katana Japanese Sword and a Korean Sword?

@@TheSwordLynx Thanks for your answer. I practice Headong Gumdo in México and it's easier to buy a Katana than a Korean.

You really are just a dude with a camera. I want to take this journey with you.Let's fight
A dude with a camera and so many takes lol. But we will fight again!
@@TheSwordLynx I actually assumed you did it one take. Because...
Now, if I wrote a script like a normal person, maybe one or two takes.
