Excellent review. I have the Z-sey Tuoyuan Katana MKIII. Excellent mat cutter. It actually cuts as good as a Motohara LMC. I had also bought the LD katana, advertised as a mat cutter. Very sad mat cutter. I sold it.
I have two Z-sey ($1,200) from a few years ago. Both have been great, and the quality matched the cost. I have a Citadel ($2,200) and Motohara ($2,800) for comparison. The Z-sey may only be half the cost, but they are much more than half the katana. I find Dragon King in the $350-$450 range to be a nice spot for care free cutting and still good performance. I do hesitate to use a $1,500+ sword for anything more than soft mats. The War Horse and Hana have both held up for many practice sessions. I love all your videos, thanks for posting!!!
Thank you for your comment, waouw what a beautiful collection you have... very good choices ... both dragon king swords look great one with T10 and the other with spring steel or equivalent it gives different touch of steel for cutting mats ... I agree with more than 1500€ sword I wouldn’t try bamboo if not very advanced or expert I broke many times ookaze (now unusable anymore sadly) blade T10 instead of 1060 blades that didn’t chip with bamboo thank you very much 🙏🏻🌊
Thank you ! It took around 3 weeks for shipping (no sinonome with it) but very fast shipping and good communication with their services (when they were not using merchandising service from dragon sword yet) yes indeed an episode is coming about tamahagane, i tried my best 😅
@@RoninHoodYou welcome any time☺️ Oh, I see, and that will be nice if you do make an episode about Tamahagene! And what I see, God Bless you do great on your review's every time. Keep up the good work as always? I look forward to your reviews 😃
Have you ever thought to try Ron Chen? The son of Paul Chen (Hanwei) from Taiwan. He is also a student of Yoshindo Yoshihara! His company is Sake Forge/ Ron Chen Forge.
Very good suggestion I heard about this brand, but I didn't know it was the son of Paul Chen and a student of Yoshindo Yoshihara the famous japanese swordsmith ... Thank you I will think about it (I saw a video of Ron making taiwanese tamahagane katana, he looks talented ...)
Dude. Those cuts were still nice. We are always our own harshest critics. You did good.
Thank you for your support 🙇🏻♂️
I try my best to way out from freestyle embracing battodo toyama efficiency perspective ☺️
