hi guys, this was just a quick run with my new toy...JG proto sword!
i have no doubt that the sword will cut...i've done a bit of cutting with aluminum cans and chopped some plywood...performed well with no edge rolling or damage. the grind is something i'm not used to. i've only swung a sword with this type of grind once but no cutting...it was a Chinese jian. now that i got a feel for this sword grind (hollow then convex edge) i'm really diggin' it...because of its profile, it performs like a hatchet with 18" inches of sharp edge.
this sword is fast! heavy but if you lead it correctly she will dance for you...normally i like my swords to be an extension of my hand...but this one cooperates with your command!
here's the link to the video clips...i also included Gabe's (aka: willrise) clip...i thought he looked like a mighty handsome bear swinging it around.
enjoy! and feel free to comment...just not bad ones or i'll chop you up! lol.
