Thanks for watching. This was done with the thick factory edge. Also see the sober review (post sharpening to refine the edge for performance) kzread.info/dash/bejne/qWaptK9ykcWuis4.html And after proper niku dialed in: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZH2mpdlpfba2edo.html Huawei may not be offering their 9260 budget swords anymore, but this Cloudhammer is a close second and would happily recommend. For an even better steel, ask John at rva-katana about sx105v or s5, which are much higher-rated.

I can't tell you how incredibly satisfying that was to watch. I'm glad the anonymous person recommend I send one to you!

Thanks very much. Had a lot of practice tho a lot of it is the tsuka shaping. Took me by surprise first thing. Very connectable/controllable sword

Great review, very funny and a bunch of cool tidbits like the lady bug and steel info. Those vertical cuts are awesome, stopping on the cap of the lower stacked Gatorade was slick. Also super wood cuts!

Great video and review, love the tiger mask. Tip for you, keep your index finger below the fuchi,and it will give you more movement. Should it be flush yeah, but if you're index finger is below it,it won't matter.

Thanks man! You might be right, though I think in either case it has less Silicone. From what I saw, spring steel like 9260, for example, has 5x the Si. Not sure about 5160 or 6150, going to have to read up about those more. Thanks for watching and the input

Like the sword's overall look. It would look nice with a suguha hamon. I'm not so big on the through hardened blades. Great review

@KF1

Thanks for watching, Yoto. Suguha hamon would be cool, though given the Th edge hardness it's not necessary for this steel. Supposed to be a practical entry level, basically a plain backyard beater. Love a nice suguha tho, classy look

@@KF1 I am about to upload a video right now called 'Snap Shooting'. I made a comment about being drunk in the video, although I am not really, and funny thing is I shot the footage yesterday before I found your video. I am going to add a link and card to your video. My life has been very coincidental lately, or I like to believe, more synchronous. Too many coincidences in a short amount of time is no coincidence if you ask me. Synchronicity just seems more logical as opposed to a series of random events connected together by chance.
