Had an annual gathering of great friends over for a Labor Day BBQ yesterday. 6th Degree Black Belt, 5th Degree Black Belt and 4th Degree Black Belt(If you haven't figured it out by now, I hold a 2nd Degree Black Belt) and we were comparing scars from training "incidents".

Devin Thomas has a saying that everyone in knives gets cut and burnt.......everyone who plays with swords gets cut for sure.....and these are experienced, disciplined people......some of the videos out there cause me to shudder with fear with what we are NOT seeing video'd.

You ain't kidding

This stuff can be bad

Please becareful if anyone is attempting to play with edged weapons
 
It will be similar to mine but all of David's pieces are different

I am getting ready to do some more video when time allows

Thx all
 
Hopefully David will post some comments and answer some questions tonight

I thank you all for making this thread crack 30 K views

David's work deserves the attention and I know that he appreciates it

Thank you
 
Wow, Epic thread Joe!
Lots of great posts, pics & videos.

Thanks to all that have contributed their thoughts, comments,
and discussions throughout this build.

Joe, I hope that this sword lives up to all that you expect from it.


James... #2 is W2

Dudley... Ha ha ha, you know my #,
I've always got a spot open for you...
 
Thanks for chiming in Dave.
I have to say this thread and your work has pushed me to another level with my knives and especially my sheaths. Your work continues to be an inspiration, and for that I thank you!

Thanks buddy, having a lot fun doing it.
This piece will get its own thread, but I think belongs here as well since this thread inspired a lot of things on it. The Blade is of course 3v.

 
Here is another quick video on a truly inexpensive test target that actually works and takes some skill

Have fun :)

hey joe, what do you use to keep the paper in a tube shape? maybe tape ? masking/scotch? i looked back on STevens photo of his sensei. if you do a 45 cut on a free standing object, the force pushing down is equal to the force pushing to the side. that makes the tube take flight. i measured the sensei photo, its about a 60 degree cut. this way, the force pushing down is greater than the force to the side. because of this the tube is more likely "stick" to the base after it is cut , as evidenced by the photo. it may be worth experimenting with to see if it is any more efficient. great video !

I use scotch tape

STeven told me that the gentleman in the pic used some type of folding to hold his together

I would imagine thatneven after he makes the cut the paper falls

Do to PAPER being so light it's going to move

Yes maybe cutting at a 60 degree angle would lessen the effect

The targets are so cheap it's worth trying :)

You will see quickly the more the edge is off it's mark the more you bat the target

On a clean cut the target seems to almost pop

I would love to get one to stay in place :)
 
Very cool Joe. I'll have to try this. Working on a 12" Shobu Zukuri tanto that should be a good slicer.
