HI swords: Any users?

[monk3yfist]

I've looked for posts describing how HI swords (katana/wajaski) hold up under use, but cant find any. I see reviews if how sharp and pretty they are but none about how they hold up during cutting (tatami, etc.) Anybody out there have any experience? Thanks.

I don't have any, but my understanding is that they are definitely users.

I've got a katana and a manjushree. I feel confident that both would hold up fantastically under use. Neither is exactly razor sharp (mainly because I haven't gotten around to putting an edge on). I've bashed up some plywood with them though, and they shrugged it off like it was nothing.
