That’s why Shirasaya swords are also referred to as “Grass Cutters”. I have a few, they are some of my favorite type of sword. I have some1060 - 1095 carbon steal, and two actual Tamahagane steel, handmade, hand forged, clay tempered, & folded multiple times, made by legitimate Japanese katana smiths. They are some of my prized swords out of my collection (& I have a very large collection), I just love the simplicity and wood worked casing of them so much. The octagonal style wood handle and sheath is my favorite, they look the most legit and badass, like the ones mostly used in Japanese modern and early era films/anime’s. As someone who has been practicing Iaido, principles to Bushido, & most of Japan’s cultural practices as a whole in general for a decade now (currently only 25); I was very happy to see that you actually used all the proper names and seemed to actually have some understanding of what you were talking about. I see a lot of people on here (the internet in general) make similar content and have zero clue what they are talking about, which is toxic, because your planting false information to a lot of people who will only know that false information. That’s why it’s always important to know what your talking about, or don’t talk about it like you do. Otherwise it could piss a lot of people off that do lol. Glad to see you knew your stuff my guy👌🏻✌🏻I’m sure I’ll be buying some katana from your site in the future to add to my collection. 👍🏻✌🏻
Good video, One thing though that is mentioned in this and many other videos out there. A harder edge is not to make it less prone to chipping, on the contrary, it will happen more frequently compared to a softer edge. What a harder edge gives you is the ability to hold its sharpness for longer.
Wow I love Katana Samurai Sword It’s a beautiful reminder less is more with a perfect example a simple two colours design the black & polished steel is a nice complement
That is so kind of you to say! I really appreciate that! I just promised the employees that I would do some more videos in the future, so I'm sure you will see me again soon. Thanks so much for all your support! I really appreciate it!
@Karatemart It is my pleasure, like I said. I'm not putting the other people you have doing the videos. But again, they're not you. There's an old saying if it ain't broke. Don't fix it again. Hope you are having a great day. Look forward to seeing you in the videos.
Awww i love that golden coloured sword❤ edit: omg! the last sword is literally mind blowing🤯 Awesome video, uncle. keep it up. I'm waiting for part 2 ✌🏻❤
Hi Aidan! This video was one of the first videos I ever made and my newer videos are so much better. Since this video, I made a new sword buyers guide video that is much more informative. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
I've been looking around for a good katana, full tang. When I was younger I had a lot of mall swords, ornamental stuff. The first time I held a real full tang katana the weight felt dangerous. It made all the others look like they were made of tinfoil.
I agree with you! We discontinued almost all of our ornamental swords years ago and primarily carry full-tang, hand forged katana now. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
I want one forged in a unique way #1 fused with holy water #2 blessed by a dwarf #3 fused with 4 leaf clover #4 blessed by a exorcist priest. #5 Laser printed on the blade with anti demon words. #6 highlander movie style grip #7 best carbon steal folded for maximum sharpness.
The squarish tsuba on that one sword was commonly preferred by ninja so they could prop it against a wall and boost themselves up and use the cord to pull the sword up. The sword without the tsuba seems favorable by the Yakuza... pretty cool stuff!
I love the first katana that you have unbox...with sunflower design tsuba, and mate black finished scabbard, but I think the hamon line on the blade doesn't looks real 😅...but it is still beautiful...👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you! I like that one too. I kinda wish I had gone into a little more detail on hamon lines. We carry swords in all price ranges and a lot of the time on the more inexpensive swords, the hamon lines aren’t authentic. Thank you so much for watching!
Full tang is great for all swords. It helps with balance and it makes sure the blade doesn’t break off the hilt. Last thing you’d want is a rat-tail tang
Thanks man! Yeah, we carry swords in all price ranges, so hopefully you can find what you are looking for. But, if you have any questions, definitely call our customer service team. Thanks so much for watching!
9:35 a very nice sword for sure and the quality looks great l am thinking about one for the wall the blue blade sounds very special I'll look for it on the website. Your range is very good l looked at some in my country not much at all they all looked the same. So you will getting the business. 💪show and tell works 😁🥂
I completely understand. At KarateMart.com, we have swords in all price ranges. If you are new to swords and want something that won’t break the bank, I’d probably suggest a 1045 carbon steel blade. If you’d like to ask our customer service for more details, please call or email us anytime. Have a great weekend!
Great question! 1045 has a lower carbon content from 1060 and 1095. Generally, a higher-end samurai sword is going to be made of either 1060 or 1095 carbon steel. Thanks so much for watching and for your question!
Thin steel? Pretty sure you mean softer steel than other high carbon varieties. Also getting a blade that is not only laminated(different steel grades for the core and meat of the sword) will be quite expensive, you cant even truly verify you were given what you wanted without breaking the blade in 2 to see the inner workings. A 1045 katana blade is plenty for most people and will cut through stainless steel swords like butter.
I'm not sure exactly which sword you are referring to. If you would like to see a review on a specific sword, please call or email the KarateMart.com customer service team. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Hi Timur! I’m gonna be doing a video in January where I show off my favorite Samurai swords in all price levels. In that video, I’ll do my best to show off something similar to that. Thanks so much for watching!
You fit the perfect look and skill. Excellent job especially with the chucks. I need to order the burnt rattan and a few Stars. I love my Bruce Lee nunchucks people complain about the quality of the wood I did not have any problems and the nice kontoh (I call them bolsters) makes for smooth transitions.

That's a great question! The Black Ronin Samurai Sword is not one of our most high-end swords, but it is popular because it has an unsharpened blade and can be used for practice. Thank you so much for watching!
That is a great question! We sell swords in many different price categories on KarateMart.com, and depending on the quality of the specific sword, they are made differently.
@@Lozosjjbw hi! I don’t believe we have any katanas that have a tanto tip, but most of our ninja swords do. You can check them all out on KarateMart.com and if you have any specific questions, feel free to call customer service anytime. Thank you so much for watching!
Hi! Definitely check out my ninja stars video and my grappling hook video. Both of those videos show off quite a few of them. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi! I’m not familiar with either of those katana. If they are specific to the Elder Scrolls video games, then they are probably officially licensed and we like to manufacture a lot of our own stuff. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!

Thank you so much for your order and for watching!
We do carry those sometimes, but lately we’ve been really focusing on finding really high quality swords which tend to cost a little more than people want to spend. So, the 3 sets end up being really expensive. In the past, we’ve sold less expensive 3 sets that did sell well because they were cheap, but we discontinued them because the quality wasn’t as good.
Am interested on the first Katana sword, I emailed you guys just a few hours ago. Hopefully, you can help me buy this one. But the problem is that am in the Philippines want to how much would it cost me including shipping. Please reply
Hi Richard, unfortunately the laws against swords are very strict in many countries, so our customer service team would have to check the laws before shipping anything to the Philippines. Thank you so much for watching!

I am looking for a Katana similar to the ones used by Japanese nco in ww2, a useable weapon, not a wall hanging or museum artefact. What do you suggest ?
If you watch my video where I put a $200 sword through some pretty tough trials, you’ll see that a 1060 carbon steel sword actually holds up pretty well. If you want something tougher than that, get your hands on a 1095 steel or tool steel blade. There are even some nice spring steel blades that hold up well. Thanks so much for watching!
Great question Luis! All of the swords are listed in this videos description along with links to where you can find them on the KarateMart.com website. Our prices change overtime, so please check the current price on KarateMart.com. Thank you so much for watching!
Hi Mohit! We carry katana in all price points. If you are looking for an entry level sword with 1045 carbon steel, they run between $99 and $200, but if you are looking for something nicer, they can be quite a bit more expensive. You should watch my more recent video called Swords Buyer Guide. Thanks so much for watching!
Yes, it is! We carry very few swords that aren’t full-tang nowadays. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call our customer service team anytime. Thanks so much for watching!
I was expecting the swords to be at least $500 and up, but the prices are way lower when I looked at your site. Very interesting. I trust that they're good swords, but I tend to see low priced swords more as novelty swords, not suitable for fighting, but more for display. Are your swords actually able to be fought with and hold up?. Also, I'm all about traditional swords, but I absolutely love unique ones, they're just so cool to me. The 4th one you shown, I love the blade, though I'm not the biggest fan of the orange sheath. I'm curious, if I wanted to, can I use a different sheath from the one my katana came with?.
You said it perfectly, Connor! You just need to know what you are looking for when buying a sword. I look for a few specific things…the metal, the ray skin, the way it is folded, etc. So many people are deceived by other TH-camrs. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart You're right. I do look for specific things in a katana, so I'll be sure to pay attention. Also, looking at the comments, and your replies, I really appreciate your honesty. Good video too, I'll be sure to keep your site in mind when I buy katanas. Thank you!.

Shirasaya is for battle to when the swordsman break her sword shirasaya is the next the swordsman replace the all the things in her broken swords and use it for battle
Actually the shirisaya is not for battle at all. They are really for storage, transport and display. The blacksmith constructs the shirisaya to ship it to the next craftsman (togishi/polisher). Its like a pair of pajamas lol.
That’s an excellent question! It depends what you are using it for. Our entry level katana start around $100 and have 1045 carbon steel blades. That would be sufficient for 90% of people. But, if you are looking for something a little nicer, we have 1060 carbon steel that are priced a little bit higher, then 1095, spring steel, tool steel, etc. If you’d like to know more about them, check out my newer sword video titled “Sword Buyers Guide”. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Merkz! Yes, all of the swords are real. In the video, we explain which type of steel is used for each sword. Also, if you visit KarateMart.com, we have all of these swords as well as other swords with 1045, 1060 and 1095 blades.
Hi! If you watch my video where I test out a $20 sword vs a $200 sword, you can see how one of them holds up. I can’t imagine ever needing a sword for a real sword fight, but most of the swords we sell (with the exception of a few decorative ones) would hold up pretty well. Thanks so much for watching!
Is there any swords made out of spring steel inside the shop? I looked at the website and can’t seem to find any. I’m looking for a practice sword for one of my friends. Don’t get me wrong, 1060 carbon steel is great. But it’s not really the thing that you should be use for competitive sparing.
Hi Helen! Normally, we carry a lot of spring steel swords, but over the past year it’s been very difficult to keep them in stock. I’m sure we will have more soon. Thanks so much for watching!

That sword isn’t really meant to be sharpened. It is sold as an unsharpened sword to be used for training. It is made of carbon steel, so it could be sharpened using a belt sander, but I would have a trained professional do that. Thanks so much for watching!

That is a great question! We sell swords in many different price categories on KarateMart.com, and depending on the quality of the specific sword, they are made differently.
@@Karatemart do you guys have tanto katanas?
@@Lozosjjbw hi! I don’t believe we have any katanas that have a tanto tip, but most of our ninja swords do. You can check them all out on KarateMart.com and if you have any specific questions, feel free to call customer service anytime. Thank you so much for watching!
those start around $5-7K if you want one from Japan.
Would love to see your Ninja products.
Hi! Definitely check out my ninja stars video and my grappling hook video. Both of those videos show off quite a few of them. Thanks so much for watching!
Can you show us the Moonveil or possibly nagakiba next time?
Hi! I’m not familiar with either of those katana. If they are specific to the Elder Scrolls video games, then they are probably officially licensed and we like to manufacture a lot of our own stuff. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!

I’m looking to purchase a katana. A very sharp one and sturdy but doesn’t break the bank as I am saving to purchase one in Japan next year in June. Any suggestion’s?
I think I’m going to go with the last one you showed!
Hi! We’ve added a lot of katana to www.karatemart.com since this video was made, so please feel free to call or email our customer service team if you’d like any suggestions. Thanks so much for watching!
I wonder if you also have Kenshin Himura's Reverse Blade Katana?
I’m pretty sure we are sold out currently, but we do carry some pretty awesome reverse blade katana. Thanks so much for watching!
I like samurai swords 🗡
Me too! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
If the magic wand store scene from Harry Potter was cool.
Is this guy Steve Borden's (Sting the wrestler) doppelganger or what? Maybe not quite as buff obviously but he looks like him.
That’s funny! I’m actually watching the Vince McMahon documentary on Netflix right now. I don’t remember ever seeing Sting without his makeup, but I’ll take that as a complement. Thanks so much for watching!
How’s the quality on these blades? Just ordered a Damascus blade katana
Awesome! Thank you so much for your order! At KarateMart.com, we carry swords at many different price points, so the quality of the blade will be dependent on the sword you purchase. If you have any questions about specific swords, please feel free to contact our customer service team using the phone number or email address on the website. Thank you so much for your order and for watching!
I want something pretty for my bedroom, but also something to slash somebody with in case they try to break into my house.
Have u got a 3 set with full tang and blade in red stick hen mate
We do carry those sometimes, but lately we’ve been really focusing on finding really high quality swords which tend to cost a little more than people want to spend. So, the 3 sets end up being really expensive. In the past, we’ve sold less expensive 3 sets that did sell well because they were cheap, but we discontinued them because the quality wasn’t as good.
Am interested on the first Katana sword, I emailed you guys just a few hours ago. Hopefully, you can help me buy this one. But the problem is that am in the Philippines want to how much would it cost me including shipping. Please reply
Hi Richard, unfortunately the laws against swords are very strict in many countries, so our customer service team would have to check the laws before shipping anything to the Philippines. Thank you so much for watching!
Hello sir is it really sharp and are they good for real combat .
Each sword that we sell on KarateMart.com is different, but if there is a specific sword you would like to know about, please feel free to contact our customer service team using the phone number or email address on the website. Thanks so much for watching!

@ 0:35 how how much is that sword please and where do purchase from. I have had a few people trying to get in my back garden recentl;y adn they were NOT invited
Hi Christopher! All of the swords show on this video are listed in the description with a link to where you can purchase them on KarateMart.com. Thank you so much for watching!
I am looking for a Katana similar to the ones used by Japanese nco in ww2, a useable weapon, not a wall hanging or museum artefact. What do you suggest ?
If you watch my video where I put a $200 sword through some pretty tough trials, you’ll see that a 1060 carbon steel sword actually holds up pretty well. If you want something tougher than that, get your hands on a 1095 steel or tool steel blade. There are even some nice spring steel blades that hold up well. Thanks so much for watching!
How much the katana the fifth one, im from ancharge...
Great question Luis! All of the swords are listed in this videos description along with links to where you can find them on the KarateMart.com website. Our prices change overtime, so please check the current price on KarateMart.com. Thank you so much for watching!
How much katana cost average? But have a good quality Please reply
Hi Mohit! We carry katana in all price points. If you are looking for an entry level sword with 1045 carbon steel, they run between $99 and $200, but if you are looking for something nicer, they can be quite a bit more expensive. You should watch my more recent video called Swords Buyer Guide. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart I want a sword whose sharpness does not dull for atleast 5 years
is the Shirasaya Full tang? I assume it is, but cant find it written anywhere.
Yes, it is! We carry very few swords that aren’t full-tang nowadays. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call our customer service team anytime. Thanks so much for watching!
He's like a Samurai ollivander.
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
What's the range of the prices of high quality katana blade ? ..
Hi Avi, it completely depends on the sword. We have katana in all price ranges on KarateMart.com. Thanks so much for watching!
I was expecting the swords to be at least $500 and up, but the prices are way lower when I looked at your site. Very interesting. I trust that they're good swords, but I tend to see low priced swords more as novelty swords, not suitable for fighting, but more for display. Are your swords actually able to be fought with and hold up?.
Also, I'm all about traditional swords, but I absolutely love unique ones, they're just so cool to me. The 4th one you shown, I love the blade, though I'm not the biggest fan of the orange sheath. I'm curious, if I wanted to, can I use a different sheath from the one my katana came with?.
You said it perfectly, Connor! You just need to know what you are looking for when buying a sword. I look for a few specific things…the metal, the ray skin, the way it is folded, etc. So many people are deceived by other TH-camrs. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart You're right. I do look for specific things in a katana, so I'll be sure to pay attention.
Also, looking at the comments, and your replies, I really appreciate your honesty.
Good video too, I'll be sure to keep your site in mind when I buy katanas. Thank you!.
@@Karatemart Why didn't you state the prices in the video? Multiple times you said, it's a really great price but never stated how much
@@Noadvantage246 Hi Will! Because prices change overtime, we never mention them in the videos. However, there are links in the descriptions of all the videos so that you can find more information about the products as well as their prices. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Im thinking of buying the hand forged samurai katana, do they ship to puerto rico?

Shirasaya is for battle to when the swordsman break her sword shirasaya is the next the swordsman replace the all the things in her broken swords and use it for battle
Actually the shirisaya is not for battle at all. They are really for storage, transport and display. The blacksmith constructs the shirisaya to ship it to the next craftsman (togishi/polisher). Its like a pair of pajamas lol.
what would be a good starter Katana? around $300 price! tnx
That’s an excellent question! It depends what you are using it for. Our entry level katana start around $100 and have 1045 carbon steel blades. That would be sufficient for 90% of people. But, if you are looking for something a little nicer, we have 1060 carbon steel that are priced a little bit higher, then 1095, spring steel, tool steel, etc. If you’d like to know more about them, check out my newer sword video titled “Sword Buyers Guide”. Thanks so much for watching!
Are these swords real? Like is it really 1045 or 1060 or 1095?
Hi Merkz! Yes, all of the swords are real. In the video, we explain which type of steel is used for each sword. Also, if you visit KarateMart.com, we have all of these swords as well as other swords with 1045, 1060 and 1095 blades.
Where can I purchase one of your swords?
Hi Jarvis! There are links in the description of the video and everything is available at www.karatemart.com. Thanks so much for watching!
Would these swords be worthy in battle
Hi! If you watch my video where I test out a $20 sword vs a $200 sword, you can see how one of them holds up. I can’t imagine ever needing a sword for a real sword fight, but most of the swords we sell (with the exception of a few decorative ones) would hold up pretty well. Thanks so much for watching!
Is there any swords made out of spring steel inside the shop? I looked at the website and can’t seem to find any. I’m looking for a practice sword for one of my friends. Don’t get me wrong, 1060 carbon steel is great. But it’s not really the thing that you should be use for competitive sparing.
Hi Helen! Normally, we carry a lot of spring steel swords, but over the past year it’s been very difficult to keep them in stock. I’m sure we will have more soon. Thanks so much for watching!
Is it possible to sharpen the blunt or unsharpen sword?
It depends on the sword. Depending on the type of metal used, it may be able to be sharpened. If you’d like suggestions on the swords to purchase, please feel free to call or email our customer service team anytime. Thanks so much for watching!

@@Karatemart Great....I mailed on that. Please take a look... I seriously want a katana in my Antique collection
what is the bow tie for on the first sword
Hi! I’m guessing you are referring to the sageo, which is used to hook the sword to your belt. Thanks so much for watching!
and how would I sharpen the first blade?
That sword isn’t really meant to be sharpened. It is sold as an unsharpened sword to be used for training. It is made of carbon steel, so it could be sharpened using a belt sander, but I would have a trained professional do that. Thanks so much for watching!
take a shot every time he says tsuba
HAHAHAH😂
