I'm looking at the Practical Plus from Paul Chen, and the Cold Steel Warrior Katana -

 

Which Katana do you use for Tameshigiri?

 

Why?

 

Which to avoid? Why?

 

Thanks in advance for the feedback -

All the best,


John

go to this site,the blades here are of high quality if you dont mind the price.they are worth every penny. https://www.bugei.com

Why punch someone when their on the ground when you can just kick them

Avoid Stainless steel blades. The molecular structure of stainless makes it more ap to failing.

 

....what? :-? Could you explain this further?

Stainless steel is too brittle for swordsmanship, be it solo or paired work. If a sword made of 440 stainless steel comes into contact with anything too hard (like a tameshigiri wara or another sword) it breaks. Simple as that.

The poor guy demonstrating the toughness of the blade gets a bellyfull. LITERALLY!

i just took delivery of a paul chen practical plus. it's very nice. well put together and very sharp. you could do a lot worse than picking up one of these

I don't personally use a katana anymore, but my wife uses a custom-forged sword. Costs a pretty penny to get a sword worth having, IMHO.

Haha, what I'd do for a wife that wields swords ;)

 

I think I'd do whatever she said :D

All the best,
