Given it’s incredible close combat features and it’s ability to become a ranged weapon via it’s quick release tactical pommel and ballistic blade tip, I will do no less then order one immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was hopeful when I got it. I have seen mostly positive things about the Honshu stuff, I thought it might turn out well. Same it turned out the way it did, it has a lot of potential for a budget item.
A Matt Jensen Drunken review?!? Wow it's been a while! Not 5hat I'm saying Matt should get drunk more but the humor of his drunk reviews slays me! 😂🤣😂 Anathar may have put him up to it having seen the Honshu as a rival...but we may never know the truth 😂
"Sunday. SUNDAY. SUNDAY!!!". Totally brought me back to the 90's surfing cable at 3AM switching between crap infomercials ala QVC and two dueling Michael Caine /.Brian Dennehy movies on the USA network and Cinemax. Only thing missing was the 40oz of Bad Frog Malt Liquor and an overflowing chili cheese nachos from 7-11.
They don't love me.. This is the first one that is turning around a bit. Most of the time they don't do well but this one is overtaking the long version. Which is rare for my channel.
Maybe I went a little too deep on that one. I looked at some of their ad copy and while it is not too embellished it still has some stuff that did not quite measure up.
Good morning Matt. Yeah, bought a Honshu boshin sword, waste of money. Broke on a old piece of quarter inch plywood. Wasn't a heavy hit, downward strike. No honshu for me. Great video. Cheers ☘️
None can stand against Anathar The Sword Of Power!!!!!!! Not even Anathar can stand against Anathar The Sword Of Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a combination that almost no one other than me is likely to care about but did anybody else recognize the music as the intro theme for The Glass Cannon Network's Get in the Trunk series?
Dude something is wrong with you but that's ok because it's funny af xD No for real nice video. I always like to see products being abused far beyond actual use, so you can evaluate if it will fail during regular use. And seriously what is the todays use for a wakizashi? Beside if i remember correctly katanas were made against unarmored enemies so this is probably the only honshu product where slashing waterbottles would have been enough.
The lower cost Honshu stuff is questionable however the higher priced swords seem reasonable,Shadversity liked the broadsword,the pommel did pop off but the blade held and surprisingly the handle stayed put when the pommel came off so maybe the extra $100 gets you a better sword. I'd not go within a mile of some of the D2 swords they have that could be...scary.
@@QseftJohn As long as they gonna keep those abrupt 90 degree angles where the tang meets the blade I wouldn't trust any of their swords with my life, let alone a D2 version of that. + A good sword shouldn't break even if you strike with the flat. Also there are cheaper swords that hold up to much more abuse then what you can see in the video.
Lmao been awhile now since you did a drunk review. When this sword came out I was like... why? That goes for the whole brand pretty much. The "historical" totally definitely certainly not boromir's sword is kinda cool... nah.
I think they look kinda cool. I get it is not for everyone but it is cost effective and tacticool looking. If it was a little better built then it would be easy to recommend if that was your thing.
@@Matthew_Jensen I gotta admit I like the midnight versions. Something about murdered out stuff appeals to me. And there's potential for customization. A waki for 100 bucks ain't that bad at all. If one were to be a little gentler it would probably be fine. Ialmost got the seax as custom project but I just can't stand the 'speed holes' on a blade. It's not even that Im worried about durability they just bug me for no good reason.
I love the adlibs. Im going to have to watch it again to catch them all. But i had a honshu once. Blade snapped against wood as well so im glad im not the only one. Too many ppl vouch for this brand. Theyre not that good at all.
@@Matthew_Jensen i thought about biying another one model to see if mine was just a one-off but after this video I hesitate. Thanks for breaking things so we know where to better spend our money. You’re the best!
Yeah I don't like honshus construction or temper. Their screw pommels have too long screw area and makes the tangs smaller almost to the point of rattail. Good designs though. Just wish they would make a better product.
So glad Skallagrim introduced me to this channel
same
Ditto
Agreed
Matthew Jensen is the OG abusive sword tester. Been pushing his channel on skall and Matt Easton for awhile.
Glad he did too
More drunken reviews please…hilarious!
If you haven't seen them he has a bunch of drunken reviews from years ago. I think he may have them all in a playlist on his channel.
Given it’s incredible close combat features and it’s ability to become a ranged weapon via it’s quick release tactical pommel and ballistic blade tip, I will do no less then order one immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BAM
Hahahahahaahahahahaha. This really brings me back. Glad the drunken reviews are back.
I don't know how many I will do but this one felt right.
@@Matthew_Jensen for sure. Good instinct.
@@Matthew_Jensen we begs.....Wants more...these are so funny
Ohhhhhh, how I have missed the drunken reviews.
Well done!
Hahahaa i feel attacked for making a video on using the honshu "traditionally" 🤣. This review is awesome! More drunk review please !
Well there with you and I out of the count there should be eight more at least.
@@Matthew_Jensen hahaha 😆😆
The Mortal Kombat style announcements/remarks are the cherry on top! Do more of that!
Finish Him!
@@Matthew_Jensen You have to try and use that on the next drunk review. You just gotta!
Omg so been waiting for this for ages ..did not disappoint 😂😸😂
Like a good fart.
"Then again, who likes the feel of a rubber"
🤣
Matthew, many thanks for your laryngeal gymnastics to provide us with this drunken review of this mall ninja swordness.
welcome
holyshit my ribs hurt from this sword review! MOAR!!! this made my day, thank you sir!
This video is informative and knee-slappingly hilarious at the same time.
Kudos, man!! 🤣🤓
Brother, you really do a great job at these!! I get you probably have to be in the zone to do it but I enjoy these very much lol!
Best 👏🏼 review 👏🏼 I laughed more than I should’ve! Informative and funny.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yet another absolute banger of a video!!
lol, when I saw BudK I already knew. Thanks for doing it justice.
I was hopeful when I got it. I have seen mostly positive things about the Honshu stuff, I thought it might turn out well. Same it turned out the way it did, it has a lot of potential for a budget item.
That was fucking hilarious- thanks so much, I really needed a good laugh today, and you were the first one to deliver. Right on!
Glad you liked it.
Loved this review! Laughed my a$$ off from the beginning until the end! Thank you! :)
The is one of the best 5 minute sword reviews I've ever seen.
I love all of your videos but this one is so fun! More please🦊💚
A Matt Jensen Drunken review?!? Wow it's been a while! Not 5hat I'm saying Matt should get drunk more but the humor of his drunk reviews slays me! 😂🤣😂
Anathar may have put him up to it having seen the Honshu as a rival...but we may never know the truth 😂
Arrrrr how I've missed the drunken reviews!!!!! 🤣🙏🙏🙏 Absolute legend!! 😂👏👏👏👏
Glad to hear it hit the spot.
Informative and entertaining. 8/10 would not buy that sword before watching this review. 11/10 would not buy it after. Well done.
It sounds like you kinda want to buy it though..

The Drunken Reviews return. You have not lost your sense of humour, sir. Just a shit ton of pommels.
Haha great video! "S* the bed at both ends" lol brutal visual
I don't think I had a mental picture until now.
Now *THIS* is a gatdang sword review!
Kind words sir.
I'm glad Skal introduced me to your channel.
Me too.
Ok I rarely laugh that hard at yout vids but I laughed hard at this one. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Matthew_Jensen dude deal breakingly shity is my new favorite thing to say.
Best video I've seen all week!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Matthew for your very entertaining sword review! It was so well done that I feel the urge to buy this garbage stick of doom 🤣.
I hope you enjoy and get a better one that I did.
The voiceover commentary was amazing 😂
Glad you liked it.
Great voice effects job on this one. Not a full tang. Looks sweet
Hah, I love these drunken reviews.
Cheers! 💚
Glad you like them!
I'm imagining jonathan loughran telling me about this sword and it just makes it so much better
All it needs is a Kyle sheath that's Molle comaptibale and I'm a happy camper.
Yes! I love the drunk reviews!
They don't love me.. This is the first one that is turning around a bit. Most of the time they don't do well but this one is overtaking the long version. Which is rare for my channel.
i feel like maybe the "hollow promises" were an issue?
Maybe I went a little too deep on that one. I looked at some of their ad copy and while it is not too embellished it still has some stuff that did not quite measure up.
@@Matthew_Jensen i mean the proof is in the pudding, and you pudding them through the paces
Good morning Matt. Yeah, bought a Honshu boshin sword, waste of money. Broke on a old piece of quarter inch plywood. Wasn't a heavy hit, downward strike. No honshu for me. Great video. Cheers ☘️
bummer
@@Matthew_Jensen live and learn. Exactly why I watch your videos. Your knowledge is valuable to me. Cheers Matt. ☘️
Funniest sword review I have seen. Keep it up.
Thanks
Ok, but.. how does it hold up against Anathar?
None can stand against Anathar The Sword Of Power!!!!!!! Not even Anathar can stand against Anathar The Sword Of Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anathar..
How did you have so few subs with this kind of funny and fast content?!
Because he spent no time on advertising it and Sword reviews aren’t a thing you discover.
Just lucky I guess.
i love Drunken Review,cool wakizashi
glad you liked it.
This is a combination that almost no one other than me is likely to care about but did anybody else recognize the music as the intro theme for The Glass Cannon Network's Get in the Trunk series?
"Then again, who likes the feel of a rubber?"
YAY Drunk reviews back again
Priceless
Pommel popping off is a quick release "feature" so when fighting an opponent you may "end him rightly"
thats what she said
This video makes you FEEL like a drunk reviewer
I'm angry when I drink.
Fantastic shoe string sageo
When the bulk of videos on a blade are from vendors rather than reviewers, that's red flag #1.
DEALBREAKINGLY SHITTY!
You've earned that lozenge.
Dude something is wrong with you but that's ok because it's funny af xD
No for real nice video. I always like to see products being abused far beyond actual use, so you can evaluate if it will fail during regular use. And seriously what is the todays use for a wakizashi?

Shout from skalls channel.
thanks for coming
Just the perfect sword for a drunken Review.
Right time and right sword.
More like this i love it
Love the 80's aggressive commercial style of this review! Try it again on the next "SHITTILY" made blade lol
I need some recovery time.
Thanks for this. I'll save my $103 for a few eggs.
When will you start using the Weapons Dynamics software again?
Katana make it hard to do but I put it on most of the euro blades. Also I skip it if the blade is too stiff. Makes it hard to find nodes.
@@Matthew_Jensen More Budk in the future?
This was the first piece they sent me. We will see if they have a good sense of humor about it.
Awesomeness.
"Grippy good very yes" and "Shittely - word of the day" 🤣😂
Have you used it yet?
@@Matthew_Jensen Yes, "shittely" has been added to my vocabulary.
yes
question honshu is affiliated with musashi ? swear i saw a katana with similar shape lol
I did review one similar but I am not sure.
I should do a drunk version of my videos where I miss the target every time 😂
James the drunken knife chucker? What could go wrong?
Good hilt, terrible blade. I retract my old comment.
Thank you for the review. It was very informative.
Welcome
Epic!

I'd not go within a mile of some of the D2 swords they have that could be...scary.
All of there D2 are less than 20inches long and have wide blades, they should hold up well; unless you strike with the flat of the blade.

Hahahahaa..he said assface!!
And I meant it too.
Nice 👌
😁😂 good video 😁
I would be the one to use it traditionally hence I Lovè samurai
But honestly I want something to defend until I can get to a gun

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 YO!!!! bro!!!! thx for this!!!
Welcome
If it doesn't have LEDs that allow you to illuminate the blade in several different colors, can it even be called cyberpunk?
(I'm only joking)
I think you found the next version
Pretty funny.👍
😂😂😂😂 great video
Lolol awesome!
POWER THIRST!!!
A wakizashi made entirely of biceps.
“”Blade”” rofl
😂😂😂😂 pretty funny
hello
Lol! next levelll!!!
this is so funny
It's not funny enough
😂😂😂

I love the adlibs. Im going to have to watch it again to catch them all. But i had a honshu once. Blade snapped against wood as well so im glad im not the only one. Too many ppl vouch for this brand. Theyre not that good at all.
I have heard some positive things, its a bummer this one did not hold up.
