Cutting: Arms & Armor Bannockburn, beach mat #1 (2015) @SamuraiJames

Uploaded December 2021 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

The first set of mats with my Arms & Armor Bannockburn sword. This was with a lightly refined factory edge.

The targets are beach mats as I was comparing them to standard tatami omote as possibly cheaper alternative.
