Cold Steel 'Chinese War Sword' (machete) - 1st Impressions

Hey everyone!
Today I unboxed & tested my new ‘Cold Steel: Chinese War Sword (Machete)’. Join me as I put this blade to the test by chopping through almond milk cartons & cardboard. All’s been recycled :) As a HEMA practitioner (Historical European Martial Arts), I’m looking to refine my technique with this affordable sword while I save up for the Cold Steel 'Competition Cutting Sword'
In the background, 'Echoes of Knights' is playing (from the music album adaptation of my novel, Crystal Mountain). If you enjoyed the music, you might like the book! Crystal Mountain is available in physical format on Amazon & widely available as an eBook on many online bookstores
Thanks for watching, & don’t forget to like, comment, + subscribe for more content!
Cheers,
LG

I have a Cold steel katana machete.
Nice balance, good quality.
That being said, that Chinese war sword machete is badass!

It literally translates as "Big Knife"

@@jacob.tudragens Cheers! The Katana looks sweet. CS machete’s make for excellent blades to practice proper edge alignment. Especially for beginners… having access to quality steel for
