In today's video we're comparing a $2000 Paul Chen Kami katana vs a $200 katana I bought on Amazon. The differences are pretty obvious if you know what to look for so hopefully this video will help you from getting ripped off in the future.

    Thanks for the mention.. I was wondering why I had a rather sudden influx of new viewers. The kami katana you have is a fun one too. It was one of the swords Hanwei/Paul Chen made that put in all the features.

    Sometime after ww2, my great-grandpa was walking through a subway in Tokyo and bought a real wakizashi, now we jest that it's the "family sword," even though our real ones were lost in the Meiji Restorations. It actually had imperfections from blood on it, so I know that a previous owner was not very careful about washing it off after combat, and that it did actually maim someone. It was interesting to get it appraised a few years ago.

    Found your video after looking up how to tell if a katana is real. Had an old katana from my grandfather who was in WWII and wanted to see if it might be real or fake. No wave on the blade from the hardening, or anything ornamental. But after doing further research, turns out it's a type 98 Shin-Gunto produced in 1938. Was made in mass for the war and taken as trophies by allied forces during their fight in Japan. Your vid helped me not just give up hope after I saw the pattering of the ray skin like you mentioned and decided to continue looking into it. Thanks for the info!

    I recently got myself a $157 katana that is made out of T10 tool steel and is differentially hardened. It has a real hamon and the blade is pretty good. Has good crisp lines, good shape and geometry, especially for the price. However, the fittings and the handle are far from best quality. Cheap Chinese katanas can be used as project swords where you can practice your polishing skills on them, maybe re-wrap the handles to learn the art of tsukamaiki, and so on. But you should ALWAYS insect your sword very carefully before you start swinging it at targets. The Chinese like to cut corners big time - not a good thing when we are talking sharp objects.

    AGREED!!!!!!!!! So many people overlook this. Either they want to make swords/knives or just buy and use them, but very few consider a beautiful in-between - refurb a good starter with problematic fittings. There are so many websites that sell knife blade blanks at various levels of completion for you to subsequently customize. Musha by Musashi are good katanas that just need high quality fittings (tsuba, handle ect). It's a great place to start because there's no forging or stock removal. You're working backwards by working on your finishing skills first. I'm so glad you pointed this out. Many of the blades are made in the same dies on the same production line. They change the steel for marketing (the rawstock price difference between 1060 and 5160 isn't huge).

    An authentic Samurai sword, hand made in Japan (called a Shinken 真剣), can easily cost US$12,000 to $25,000 and up. Chinese made production level approximations are typically at least $1,000-$2,500 for something reasonably ‘traditional’.

    Great videos about swords. Ive been wanting a hand made Katana for a long time and I can afford one now but I had no way of knowing what is real quality vs fancy looking junk. They all say high carbon steel, hand made folded steel for $30-$100 ready for attacking water bottles. Then I see similar swords listed for $1500-$3000 and no way to know so the information about Paul Chen was really helpful and I ordered several swords from them. Ive bought so many cheap swords and weapons over the years that $599-$1000 was not that much and something that I could easily sell later. I wish they made more throwing weapons besides the darts.

    Hey I know I’m kinda late to the party but thanks for making this video. My dad gave me a katana when I was graduating high school and I’ve always wondered if it was legit or not. That was a decade ago and he’s no longer with us, but I inspected my katana just now and was pleasantly surprised that it’s actually a high quality sword. It’s kinda silly but it brightened that memory of him just a bit. Anyways I’m over sharing but wanted to let you know I appreciate the vid :)

    Kenjutsu student here, currently buying my first tamashigiri katana but have had wall hangers in the past, also buying an Iaito at the moment and I can absolutely tell you the type of steel makes a HUGE difference as does the tsukamaki, if it's not done properly it will literally start coming away during use, i'd recommend watching a few videos on how these swords are made as well as seeing how the grips are wrapped, they usually need little paper spacers to stop them unwrapping on the tsuka too, however the cheap ones really don't have this, my iaito I ordered turned out to be a fake and literally started unravelling during use, the hamon is SUCH a big giveaway, if it's too uniform and too perfect, it likely is, they not only acid etch but also wire brush a hamon on to fake blades, same with rayskin, if it looks too uniform it's moulded and fake. The other thing is to note the weight and where it balances, the cheap ones can be rat tail tang (google it) and held in with just a bolt so if the blade is very front heavy that's usually a sign of it, the iron tsuba is also there to balance the blade out. Failing that, go talk to an actual kenjutsu or iaido student or go study it, they'll steer you the right way for a real one, owning a katana is one thing but learning to use it to it's full potential is a totally different ballgame, i'm on the final part of my climb to shodan.

    I'll probably buy one of these, if I do, I'll probably get the Ronin Katana Model 9 to start, this was really helpful!

    What a perfect parody intro of Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction. So perfect that I hadn’t thought about that show in 10 years and still recognized the Johnathan Frakes impersonation!
