IF INTERESTED, PLEASE GO TO THE FOLLOWING LINK FOR DETAILS: /Zatoichi-Katana-Cut COMMENTS BY Paul Gunning: "How can I describe the cutting, the Tamashgeri is Japanese stock and approx 7 inch thick. The katana felt like a knife through butter as good as LL or Cold steel or any of the katanas cutting on the day with the exception of Sensei's of course!Please do not criticise my technique, I know it needs work but this is the 1st time with this katana and my 5th time cutting in total. 1st cuts are with a standard grip then I used a one handed upward cut then a reverse upward cut both are not the easiest to do. Both felt surprisingly easy.One cut is missing which was a horizontal cut, which was not recorded (typical!!) but cut the top clean off leaving a flat top, one handed, I nearly fell over with amazement I was surprised at the ease of cutting with a straight blade better than my curved blades especially in the reverse grip All fittings remained secure with no movement or slippage throughout the 20 or so cuts with the katana.Both Sensei and another student were so impressed with the quality the wanted the contact details of JW INTERNATIONAL USAto discuss making of katanas for their own use. Hi praise indeed.
