The "Ask Nathan a Question" Thread

Nathan, I’m loving the k20. The feel, balance, length, and the fine details of engineering the design. I’m sick of cutting air and currently have no enemies to attack. The weather is getting nice and I would love to use the blade for impractical purposes other than war. What are some safe materials I can cut with low risk of damage? Would 2x4s in a stand be an option or would the impact compromise the design? Sapling trees an inch or two thick?

It is a real wakizashi, not a wood processing tool. If the sword were designed to whack through lumber, it would be a pretty shitty waki. It will do it. And a Ferrari F80 can be taken off road. But this is a real and proper sword and using it to whack through lumber is not recommended.

Tatami omote mats, soaked in water and on a proper stand is a traditional target.

That, and people.
 
I everyday carry a Sig 365 9 mm

I was struggling to get a hole in a wall to run some wire the other day and I actually used my concealed carry pistol to finish poking a hole through a problem spot

It will do it

Not recommended though
