PhilosipherStoned Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 No where near top quality, but about like I expected. The only thing I'm a little bummed about is it didn't come with a traditional saya, and it has no habaki, but hey it's not even a traditional katana.. Still I hate the giant ass "cor-ex" synthetic fabric sheath it came in... It has the same sheath as my regular machete, but the handle of a katana.. That kind of makes traditional practice with it impossible. Oh well atleast you can still practice your cutting angles and stance. I tested it out on the box it came in with a 45' and I almost cut it in half with a clean ass cut first try even though it handles differently then a full katana and it's been awhile since I practiced. Hopefully this thing will atleast hold up until I get my real sword.
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 3, 2017 Author Posted May 3, 2017 I can take some I guess. I was to lazy earlier.
Distortedreasoning Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 Nice got some pics i got this cool thing but lets not take pics of it.
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 3, 2017 Author Posted May 3, 2017 how do you even post pics on this site? nothing on photobucket works.. Guess I'll post them seperately URL=http://s802.photobucket.com/user/Philosipher_Stoned/media/Album/Cold%20Steel%20Katana%20Machete/IMG_20170502_210404.jpg.html[/url]
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 3, 2017 Author Posted May 3, 2017 Sounds cheap. It's actually the cheapest thing out there that I'd still give a seal of approval .
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 3, 2017 Author Posted May 3, 2017 I hope you didn't spend too much money on that. Nope about 40 dollars plus shipping and handling for a 1055 carbon steel rust treated blade..no rayskin or ornamental parts but I didn't buy this to put on my wall I bought it to be a cutting tool and means of protection. The next sword I get is probably gonna be this. http://kultofathena.com/product.asp?item=SH2416 I don't have any more money to spend on swords atm.
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 3, 2017 Author Posted May 3, 2017 like what? I'm not trying to spend a grand or three grand. I prefer swords I can use on a wide variety of things not one that I'm going to worry about bending or breaking if I hit a tree with it. Name some swords. I like Shin Wa swords, but I'm honestly weary of anything advertising damascus steel.. Most of that shit is just manufactured to make it look like it has water marks and was made like an old school katana.
