I bought the S5 Kodachi, which is a great little sword, and it showed up with everything nice and tight. After 2 days the wood had shrunk some so I worked on it a bit and it shrunk a bit more. I think it was because of the sword traveling to different climates before I received it. The ito is fantastic and still super tight.
Nice cutting at the end there Sensei! Looks like another great sword from RVA.
I just ordered my CH S5 musashi and it is on sale for $550. It is a special order and I hope it get shipped soon. Can’t wait to get my hands on this beast sword
Awesome. Enjoy it!
Sir Rutherford Alcock, British doctor and Consul General to Japan (1809 - 1897) "I have seen many a battlefield," "but of sabre wounds I never saw any so horrible. One man had his skull shorn clean through from the back and half the head sliced off to the spine, while his limbs only hung together by shreds." "They have attained the climax of dexterity. The sword is always carried at the side, and adepts in the use of it wound the moment it is drawn." "The fatal stroke, upwards, is given in the act of drawing. Hence, placing the hand on the hilt is equivalent to presenting a cocked revolver, and if the assailant is not disabled in the act it is too late for defence."
Katana steel is high quality and durable, so high-end Japanese knives that are highly rated today are made using the same traditional methods as Katana. A Japanese steel company analyzed Katana around 1970 and developed Yasugi Specialty Steel (Yasuki Hagane), a modern blade steel. YSS is a steel material used for blade steel, kitchen knives, razors, medical blades, car parts, engine parts, etc. Japan has many volcanoes, and iron sand, which is weathered from the titanium magnetite contained in magma, has fewer impurities than iron ore and contains vanadium, which strengthens steel. In Japan's low-temperature furnaces at 1,400 degrees, the iron sand becomes semi-molten, but only the impurity slag can be melted and discharged through the holes in the furnace, making it possible to produce high-quality steel. Vanadium gives the steel ductility and makes it easier to roll, making it easier to fold. The folding process finely disperses the vanadium and bonds with carbon to create a fine metal structure, giving the katana excellent hardness, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, and toughness, and it can be sharpened to make it beautiful. Yasugi Specialty Steel is mass-produced at a factory in Yasugi City, where ironmaking has been taking place since the 6th century. In Seki City, where blacksmiths have been mass-producing katana since the 12th century, there are around 400 knife-related companies.
i think lower grade steel like 1095 and t10 and work on the zombie apocalypes its just a matter on how good the smith was at heat treating the metal and knowing how to work with the steel it self
It was my understanding that if a sword this stiff were to hit a sword that flexes, it would be the flexible steel that survives because of its ability to absorb the shock.
I believe that's usually true with low alloy steels like the 1045, 1060 and 1096 steels. Something like S5 steel has a combination of quite a few elements in it. Even though it's hard it also has quite a bit of silicone in it to help it flex if enough force was exerted on it. That's why in the video he said that it can be bent 90 degrees and still straighten back up. It also has Vanadium which refines the grain in the steel by having smaller carbides in it which helps strengthen the steel. And last but not least it has Molybdenum which also is known to make the steel not only stronger but tougher too. All this with the right heat treatment is what gives this steel so much shock resistance.
How much was the s5 shock steal coast you????
Zombie slayer is $775 now

Very Nice Sword! I agree with you on the habaki, have seen some replacements out there. I more so am bored with the dragon theme. Love looking at very old swords that seem to have more nature/natural world type themes.
Very nice. Thank you for sharing! :)
Thank you, too!
how much...

Great review! I have a small sword collection, my one real "good" sword is a Paul Chen Musashi sword. (I'm sure you know more about it than I do.) I've done some light cutting with it. My favorite is to place one apple on top of another, and slice the top one cleanly in half without leaving any scratch on the bottom one. :) I bought that one several decades ago.
personally I prefer the S7 tool steels for my swords. especially with the lifetime guarantee/warranty.
