The katana with a back edge not only could be done effectively, it HAS been done. Japan had swords like that, and given that the kamitar is made of spring steel it likely could handle it. But I'd suggest buying another of the katanas you got to make the kamitar and use that, rather than messing with the one you already have, just in case. Edit: In fact, what I'd like to see you fellas do is what we don't have evidence of the japanese doing... sharpen the entirety or the majority of the back of a katana.

Tyranth said it clearly that it wouldn't work for this blade because the inside of the steal is likely made from a softer metal, and the spine is so thick that you couldn't get much of an angle properly. No one said that it is impossible to make a katana-like blade with a double-edged end. They said that they cannot make THIS sword have it. Those are two different things, seeing as crafting a sword with a double-edged tip from scratch allows you to make it in whatever way is necessary to make it work.

Just imagine fighting someone wielding a single odd looking sword and then all of the sudden mid swing out of nowhere they have two swords and are dual wielding.

Depends only on one factor: Are you using it like a curved style saber OR are you using it as a Katana. The crossguard makes a lot of actions typical to kenjutsu really awkward.

​@@lightsabermario A good example is when preforming kesagiri (a straight downward cut), you can't have a crossguard. That's why with an arming sword or longsword, you cut vertically by starting on either side of your head. It changes depending on the profile of the guard. Also with a crossguard, preforming Noutou might be really awkward too due to wrist positioning if you were doing the horizontal sheath.

@@MW_Asura I'd like to see that field tested. Some disc gaurds can almost reach the length of the shortened crossguard on this kamitar. You don't need that much length to avoid blade bounce. And on top of that, there are benefits to an enlarged suba/disc guard over a crossguard, same reason ring guards have advantages.

Gotta say, it must be a blast to work with shad on videos.

Dont know if it was mentioned already, but Shad, and the crew, should comment on Senki Sensei's video where he tests a western sword for the first time.

some notes on drawing the katana. The habaki and saya form a 'lock' and to draw the thumb would be placed on the tsuba to 'pop' that seal open the first inch or so, the katana and saya would then be rotated while drawing so that it can draw and cut in one fluid motion. you would not draw the sword upside down and then flip it as shown. Part of the reason that the katana is secured with the sageo rather than frogs, is because you need to be able to move the saya and position it around your body. when drawing, the saya is actually pulled back out of the way of the sword for the last 1/3rd of the blade or so, and when sheathing the saya is brought out to meet the blade. Part of the advantage of having a single edged blade stored blade down is that when sheathing, you can guide the spine of the blade along the web of your hand and into the saya which makes it much quicker and easier to sheath without looking or fishing around for the opening. There is an entire martial art that is devoted purely to sheathing and unsheathing the katana called Iado which is rather unique AFAIK compared to European tradition and takes advantage of these relative peculiarities. One such technique involves bringing the saya up perpendicular and against your chest to strike downwards as you sidestep. Another technique begins with a reverse grip (thumb on top) that allows you to cut upwards in one fluid motion with the blade oriented downwards. One note is that in japanese martial arts (partially due to the fact that they are using differentially hardened blades and not spring steel) they do not use many 'binding' techniques as you see displayed in european treatises, so there was not as much need for a crossguard. That being said, most of the examples we see of katana are from the edo period, which was the height of their legacy in many ways. These weapons were largely status symbols and so while functional weapons, some details such as the tsuba would have been largely ornate and became smaller over time as they adapted to this use. In post warring states(sengoku) period, weapons were largely made illegal, but the Daisho were allowed to be retained by the noble class because they weren't really considered true battlefield weapons. Like many european analogues these would have been a side weapon and a spear would have been the primary infantry weapon. That being said, earlier examples of katana from pre-edo, did have much larger tsuba, often more square, that would have better protected the hand. I'd almost point to the small sword as more of an analogous blade: something that could be and probably was occasionally used in war, but was primarily mean to be a status symbol of nobility and a self defense/dueling weapon for matters of honor. To wrap this up, I greatly enjoyed this video and appreciated your insight, just wanted to humbly add my two cents and maybe shed some light on a couple things

That's more a cultural shift than anything super tactical. The goal of the Meiji Restoration was to become more western. Western clothes, foods, and ideas became a part of Japanese culture. Obviously, swords are not that important in the late 19th and early 20th century. There are Japanese court swords in that period that are modeled after European smallswords. In the 1930s, a wave of nationalism caused the military to transition back to a traditional Japanese design, so there really wasn't a tactical reason for the shift at all.

18:01 Interestingly enough, there are double edged katanas online, where the second edge starts halfway on the back of the katana blade. You can look it up.

Hey guys just wanted to bring to your attention that there is a katana for sale from Swords of Northshire based on Mugen’s sword from Samurai Champloo. It has a sort of cross guard, but it’s shaped more like a guard from a Sai, and it also has a partial double edge that runs from about half way up the spine to the tip of the blade. I don’t work for them, and I’ve no idea what kind of quality it’ll be, but check it out if you’re interested.

Have you guys tried to make indeed, a bigger tsuba ? Maybe with a oval kind of shape like some chinese swords and stuff ... would be fun

Shad channeling his inner He-Man at the begging 🔥🔥🔥

I feel like if you had used guard rings on the side like a montante or zweihander, or the katsbalger guard, both of which would be better guards than either the cross or tsuba, and better blend the two, with even more hand protection.

nice, interesting tak on the katana/longsword debate to be sure. I do have to question the purpose of the Kimata, because all-throughout this video every time you guys said Kamita all that was going through my head was grosse messer. mayhap a possible future comparison for the kamita would be to see how it stacks up againts a grosse/messer.

Love your vids, keep up the good work.😊 Also is there any chance Shad could play Chivalry II on Game Knight?

You recently tested the sakabato and said the tip was the effective part of the blade. So, you already proved having a false edge blade at the tip would be of effective use and seeing as how the main section of the blade was not as effective, that could be an interesting working concept of a sword.

With the direction of the blade when sheathed, i watched a video once of an iaido master discuss this and it was held upwards so the blade wouldn’t dull, and when drawing you need to hold the sheathe in a way to avoid cutting your thumb etc

Hi guys! I've been following this series, and I would suggest that we can improve the kamita even more by sharpening the upper 1/3 of the false edge.

It's a "FALTANA" Tyranth and Shad's sticking to it! I actually love that sword! I like the half back edge being sharp idea sound cool!

How to wear the kamitar: the nibble where the rope is attached to should face outwards, however, if it was a tachi rehilted, then is should've been blade down, because the saya of yhe tachi ware mostly made to hang down.

can we have some more longsword combat? I really enjoy watching and learning techniques.

I don’t know if it’s been stated but I feel that I should. The round hand guard on a katana is because you traditionally use the flat of the katana parry, since the edges were more likely to chip. So it was to keep the sword from going down the side of the blade into you hand. But with a spring steel blade you can use the edge to block and parry

tyranth's edge alignment is on point

This is FANTASTIC!!! It so amazing to see this sword in real life! I actually wrote a book about this exact sword years ago and it so wonderful to see it come to life. I know I'm not the only one to think of a sword like this but its still amazing nonetheless.

18:55 you do have the sakabato... maybe for length-wise put it on the back of an o-katana so the curve may line up better?

Samurai ghosts punching the air right now

Even that recent "samurai with a longsword" video the katana instructor admits the cross guard makes for more stable blocking than a tsuba.

Can't wait to see the next abomitana

If redesign the tsuba to be more functional like a crossguard so you can continue to use tsuka that have a advantage to be more comfortable, and if you want can make a kashira heavier like a pommel, so you mantain the design more originalty (less cursed) and make a more functional and comfortable katana

With this video and the review of the upwards bladed katana makes me wonder what a double edged katana would be like
