00:00:00

well folks I was bribed to review this

00:00:02

sword here I'm such a sellout so what

00:00:05

happened was well my patreon supporters

00:00:08

asked me to review a budget Japanese

00:00:10

sword and they actually sent me the

00:00:13

money to buy one which I very much

00:00:15

appreciate thank you you know who you

00:00:16

are I do very much agree that I should

00:00:19

review more budget prize swords I tend

00:00:23

more towards the mid or even high range

00:00:27

because you know I just know what you

00:00:31

get in that price class but I want to

00:00:34

give this a fair chance in fact I have I

00:00:37

have tested it and it's actually quite

00:00:40

decent I have to say for the price so

00:00:43

this is made by Musashi it's it's called

00:00:48

a ninja sword it's a Hollywood ninja

00:00:51

sword as far as I know this sword like

00:00:55

this in this particular way is a

00:00:57

Hollywood invention they didn't look

00:00:59

like this this is like a budget cutter

00:01:02

for people who you know don't have a

00:01:05

whole lot of money to blow on a sword

00:01:07

but just will have a bit of fun in the

00:01:09

backyard cutting water bottles and

00:01:11

tatami mats things like that this is

00:01:14

made of 1045 steel or well I think

00:01:18

that's what it is you should probably

00:01:20

take that with a grain of salt just in

00:01:22

case because I haven't found this

00:01:25

particular one on Musashi's official

00:01:27

website I've just seen it on other

00:01:30

websites stated as 10:45 so I can

00:01:34

confirm it with certainty but I'm pretty

00:01:37

sure it is 1045 because that's generally

00:01:40

considered a medium carbon steel it is

00:01:43

sometimes called high carbon steel but

00:01:46

the carbon content isn't terribly high

00:01:49

at point four five percent so this is

00:01:52

essentially the low end of suitable

00:01:55

steels for a sword and it's through

00:01:58

tempered traditionally made Japanese

00:02:00

swords generally have a softer spine and

00:02:03

harder edge so this is all the same

00:02:05

hardness throughout it's a pin full tang

00:02:08

construction you can see the two pegs

00:02:10

one here and one there

00:02:12

the rapp seam

00:02:13

a little bit loose I mean not nothing

00:02:17

major just not quite as tight as on a

00:02:23

higher-priced one it might seem it's the

00:02:27

usual thing the new key is on the left

00:02:30

side which as I've mentioned before I

00:02:33

don't like because that way when you

00:02:36

hold it your fingers rest on it it would

00:02:38

be more comfortable to have it on the

00:02:39

other side but that's of course personal

00:02:42

preference and all that and it's very

00:02:44

commonly done that way the picture on

00:02:46

cult of Athena shows a satin finish on

00:02:48

the blade not this black here now I

00:02:51

don't know if that's random if you get

00:02:53

either satin or black finish or if

00:02:57

they're just all black now the garden

00:02:59

fittings seem pretty decent after

00:03:01

testing the guard is still perfectly

00:03:04

secure so I don't feel any looseness in

00:03:08

the parts here now one thing I do notice

00:03:10

is I'm moving it around I don't know if

00:03:14

you can hear that but the the tank

00:03:19

shifts a little bit inside of the grip

00:03:23

so the group could have been fitted more

00:03:26

tightly but again in this price range

00:03:29

I mean it's $60 there there are only so

00:03:33

many things you can expect for less than

00:03:36

$100 and I will be mindful of that of

00:03:39

course so as far as the tests are

00:03:43

concerned I tried to Tommy cutting

00:03:45

obviously that worked pretty well in

00:03:48

fact better than I would have expected

00:03:50

because the edge at first when I checked

00:03:55

it particularly with the nail test it

00:04:00

just slides off so it seems like the the

00:04:04

edge wasn't completely apex in other

00:04:08

words the the two surfaces of the plate

00:04:11

don't actually meet there is a bit of a

00:04:14

gap in between so it's not as sharp as

00:04:16

it could be but then again on the other

00:04:19

hand because of the way this is ground

00:04:22

it looks like it's a convex ground

00:04:26

from this line here I think it's called

00:04:29

a shinobi line I'm not really that

00:04:31

familiar with Japanese terms but from

00:04:34

here to the edge this is all a single

00:04:36

continuous convex grind it looks like so

00:04:41

that lowers the resistance quite a bit

00:04:43

as the blade goes through the target so

00:04:45

even if the the very edge itself

00:04:49

dulls a little bit you still have a

00:04:52

pretty low friction here so under the

00:04:55

paper test here as well

00:04:57

you can see well depends a little bit on

00:05:02

how I hold it but you can see it does

00:05:06

cut so that was interesting it didn't

00:05:12

feel quite as sharp at first and I mean

00:05:14

it could be sharper you know by the

00:05:16

standards of Japanese swords on the

00:05:20

reproduction market this could certainly

00:05:21

be sharper but it is adequate

00:05:24

resharpening would be a bit more work

00:05:27

than usual if you want to maintain this

00:05:30

if you just wanted to do a flat micro

00:05:34

bevel here that would be the easiest way

00:05:36

to do it but you would see that you

00:05:38

would then have a line there of course

00:05:40

that would be different from a black

00:05:43

finish and you would clearly see that as

00:05:46

a secondary bevel which a lot of people

00:05:48

don't like if you want to sharpen this

00:05:52

completely I guess you would have to

00:05:54

strip the finish because if you wanted

00:05:57

to polish the entire thing all the way

00:05:59

up to that line then this would all turn

00:06:02

into a satin finish or mirror finish

00:06:04

depending on how much you would polish

00:06:06

it and then you would have the bit of

00:06:08

the black left so that's a drawback of

00:06:11

the black finish I suppose but it looks

00:06:14

really good and I have to say I was

00:06:16

quite surprised by how well it held up

00:06:19

so I did some cutting on wooden branches

00:06:24

nothing too extreme no heavy duty

00:06:27

chopping just to see how it would hold

00:06:30

up and I don't see anywhere on the

00:06:34

finish at all which is unusual

00:06:36

particularly in the

00:06:38

price range normally a black finish like

00:06:40

this comes off pretty quickly rubs off

00:06:42

easily but even on the edge I don't see

00:06:46

anywhere on it at all so that's pretty

00:06:49

awesome actually and the blade did

00:06:53

suffer a little bit from the chopping I

00:06:56

can see that right here if you look

00:06:58

there is a bit of a bend in general

00:07:02

Japanese swords at least if they're

00:07:04

traditionally made have a tendency to

00:07:06

bend more than European months because

00:07:09

they don't have to spring temper that

00:07:12

European swords usually do you know

00:07:15

straightening this is not difficult shot

00:07:17

bird what you want you're a pretty one

00:07:20

though aren't you ah you wanted the

00:07:25

attention and now you just buzz off huh

00:07:28

how so I straighten it a little bit this

00:07:32

was literally just one movement I didn't

00:07:36

have to mess around with it much and

00:07:38

it's already far better it's almost

00:07:41

straight again and that is simply a

00:07:43

result of the relatively soft steel

00:07:45

10:45 Assad is not particularly hard it

00:07:49

is fairly tough I mean good luck trying

00:07:52

to break this he will bend it but I

00:07:55

don't see how this would break but it

00:07:58

can deform more easily in fact you can

00:08:01

see that right here there's some edge

00:08:03

deformation you can see where it Bend I

00:08:07

can also feel some other rough spots on

00:08:09

the edge or some rolling or Kurd on a

00:08:14

microscopic level it's not severe but

00:08:17

you can notice it in other words this is

00:08:20

not the kind of edge that will last very

00:08:24

long at least the very edge itself

00:08:28

I said due to the way it's ground it'll

00:08:32

it should still cut decently well even

00:08:35

when it's dulled so that's a nice saying

00:08:38

but yeah it's just not going to be as

00:08:41

durable something like you know 1095

00:08:45

high carbon steel or 50 160 so you have

00:08:48

to keep that in mind and we'll Bend

00:08:50

but you can bend it back of course it's

00:08:52

not that difficult and so if this was a

00:08:58

three hundred dollar sword or even five

00:09:01

hundred or more I would very much have

00:09:03

to criticize that that kind of steel

00:09:05

would be unacceptable for a 500 dollar

00:09:08

sword but this is 60 so we can't

00:09:11

complain about that at all

00:09:13

now it'll still do what it's supposed to

00:09:16

do I wouldn't cut bamboo with this but

00:09:20

you know occasional tatami mats would be

00:09:23

fine water bottles definitely would be

00:09:25

fine unless your technique is absolutely

00:09:27

horrible and the fit may not be perfect

00:09:29

you can see they're a little bit uneven

00:09:33

here no big deal really but you can see

00:09:38

you know things may be off a little bit

00:09:41

here and there it also depends on the

00:09:44

quality control another one of these

00:09:47

might be different one thing that can

00:09:50

also commonly happen in this price range

00:09:52

is at the end cap loosens up here and

00:09:55

has to be reglued

00:09:56

this one is still tight so I'm not a

00:09:59

problem here and it handles quite well

00:10:00

it's really light it feels like less

00:10:03

than a kilogram and balance is pretty

00:10:07

close to the guard well I guess

00:10:11

considering the overall length it's not

00:10:13

that close but it's light enough that it

00:10:16

really feels very agile and cutting is

00:10:20

pretty easy with it is the lacquered

00:10:22

wooden scabbard very simple but it fits

00:10:27

the sword well I don't see any flaws on

00:10:31

it it's got this breathing tube here at

00:10:36

the end that makes the corner of the

00:10:39

description that's what it's supposed to

00:10:40

be I don't think that would work too

00:10:43

well you know if I had to sit in a pond

00:10:44

for a while waiting for my victim with

00:10:47

nothing but this to breathe through I

00:10:51

don't think that would work too well so

00:10:55

you know what just a bit of a gimmick so

00:11:00

for $60 I can definitely recommend it if

00:11:03

you are on tight budget and these days

00:11:06

who isn't right then I would certainly

00:11:09

suggest checking this out if you like

00:11:11

Japanese swords I said this is a bit of

00:11:15

a Hollywood thing not historically

00:11:18

accurate but you know just for fun

00:11:20

a bit of light cutting emphasis on light

00:11:23

I don't think you can reasonably expect

00:11:25

much higher quality than this for 60

00:11:27

bucks so if you want to check it out

00:11:29
