Sword Friend Matts Miaodao Matthew Jensen 2023-06-12 | This is a Miaodao from Ladies-Gentleman. It was an e-bay seller for a time that I am unable to find now. Sword friend Matt bought this and sent it my way for evaluation. There were a few things I noticed after the review. 1. The heat treatment is stronger at the tip of the blade. The bottom 2/3 of the blade are softer and easier to bend. The top 1/3 is a little more springy. 2. the top surface of the steel has some spots that look like blisters or bubbles. I cannot tell if they are from heat treatment or the etch.

Sword Friend Carlos Motohara Matthew Jensen 2023-06-04 | Sword Friend Carlo sent me his new Motohara to have a look at and then ship off to him. Unfortunately there was a small snag.I should call out here that I think everything ended up happy. I sent the sword off to Carlo, I believe he is pleased with it. I should also call here that Jason at Evolution Blades gave great customer service. It might not be apparent from the video but he covered sending the sword back to him and would have made a new sword if Carlo was not happy with the result. Shit happens sometimes, how you handle a bade situation shows what customer service is like. In this case I think Evolution Blades did exactly what a person would hope for given the issue. Attempt to solve on the phone, take the item back to attempt repair, replace the blade if needed.

Last Legend Yashima 4000 Katana Matthew Jensen 2023-05-07 | This is a look at a Last Legend katana from the early 00’s. Crazy to think it has been a few decades since then. Last Legend is not around but they still come up from time to time on the second hand market. This video might give you some idea of what to expect from their higher end pieces. Way back machine link- web.archive.org/web/20050328041640/http://www.lastlegend.com/05kat/yashima/yashima.htmlHandle/Tsuka Length: 10.5”Blade/Nagasa Length: 29” (without habaki)Sori: .721”Moto-haba: 1.178”Motokasane: .305”Saki-haba: .784”Sakikasane: .203”Weight: 2lb 8.6ozPOB: 5” from tsubaMSRP: $929 (+ whatever the rattan upgrade cost)Info from the way back machine- The Yashima family of blades are well-balanced and quick in the hand. They are Keicho Shinto style blades with some koshizori (curve of blade more toward habaki), with masame hada (wave gain pattern) in the folded blades, full niku (convex shape on sides of blade), a significant taper from machi (blade at habaki) to yokote (tip line), and a longer chu kissaki (slightly longer tip). In the hand the Yashima feels like a Kamakura era fighting blade that has been reduced in length for the Shinto fighting styles.• Tsuba design - It depicts a battle scene fought about 1185 from the Gempei War. The Yashima tsuba is a copy of an old original tsuba.• Standard handle color - Silver Dawn silk wrap over Black samé.• Available option categories are - All (listed under options below).• Our "You break it , we replace it" blade warranty*Sword Stand by Enso Workshop - etsy.com/shop/EnsoWorkshopMusic provided by - Kevin MacLeod incompetech.comLink to the Facebook spot - facebook.com/MatthewJensenSwordReviewLink to the Twitch spot - twitch.tv/sword_friend_mattLink to the Patreon spot - patreon.com/KrunanLink to the TicTock spot - tiktok.com/@matthewjensenswordguyLink to the Instagram spot - instagram.com/matthewjensenswordguyLink to the YouTube Membership spot - youtube.com/channel/UCxfT3TItCH6rNgvQXqYfU1A/joinLink to my eBay sales page - http://www.ebay.com/usr/krunangree

Response Shadiversity: I SPIT on your sword! Matthew Jensen 2023-03-29 | This is a response @shadiversity video "I SPIT on your sword!" - youtu.be/2xQTDDevz58You made a lot of points in the video but I can only add info to two and maybe piggyback on the other. Damaging the scabbard by slamming it in.Your main point is valid, while it can have an impact it generally does not. Worth noting old blades have lacquer work that could be damaged or further damaged. The glue that holds the koiguchi on may also come loose or the koiguchi may crack. If the saya is made poorly the sword may bind and potentially damage the sword. In a modern sword, it is very unlikely to damage the sword in the short term, perhaps after hundreds of thousands of times, it could damage the saya, it’s more likely to loosen the parts on the hilt. The main damage that can come in the short term is the friction fit. Most of the time it's not done right away but if you have a well-fitted habaki it will loosen over repeated and gentle use. Slamming it in will diminish that fit more quickly and if it is very tight, might cause the saya to split.Blocking with the edge. Another bocking with edge, some schools focus on the side others just go with the edge. I study two different styles of kenjitsu, one parries with the flat, the other mostly the edge. Though many blocks are for the forms and the objective in application would be to turn it into an attack. Generally there is an alternative to a block if you are agile enough. Swords cost a lot but they were also repaired. They were not expected to last forever though many have survived.Video from Arms and Armor - youtu.be/4opfvDaYgz4Manners. I absolutely and unequivocally agree that you can do whatever you want with your own property. I would also emphasize that it does not extend to other people's property. While you make this point I would like to make it with a little more thunder.I do a lot with Japanese style swords. Someone spitting on it to clean it, or touching the blade, or even moistly speaking over it means that I would need to clean it. Were someone to do this to my sword, they would have created a chore for me if I noticed it. If I didn’t then it could result in damage that would cost a substantial sum (potentially thousands of dollars) to resolve. The polish or finish work on some blades is very sensitive and people who never practice sword etiquette may not know about it. Even very experienced sword collectors or makers make this mistake.Sticking the sword in the dirt as well will mar the finish on the sword at best, at worst there are rocks there that can roll some edges easily. Swords polished with a satin finish with a robust edge angle are less likely to be damaged. However, one tip in the dirt would require a new polish to bring back to perfect.Were someone to do this to my property it would be hard to keep calm. (again because it would cost me thousands of dollars and years of time and stress to return to its previous condition) I have had experiences where I ask, do you know “sword etiquette” most of the time people say yes. Then proceed to get handsy with a blade, set it hard on a dirty table, hand it to people in dangerous ways. By all means do what you want with your own stuff, at the same time, if you want to touch other people's stuff, then I would advise learning the best manners you can.

There are two Mekuki not one (thank you Alientude)2. Forgot to show the nakago - It is not great. Right size and general shape but not dressed as well as Huawei pieces.3. In the video I talk about ito tightness and it looks like it moves a lot. While I can displace the ito I have to push pretty hard to get it to move much. I would say the $60 ito upgrade was tighter than this $30 option. It is still better than many other $150 swords.Handle/Tsuka Length: 10.125”Blade/Nagasa Length: 27.875” (without habaki)Sori: .638”Moto-haba: 1.253”Motokasane: .329”Saki-haba: .918”Sakikasane: .171”Weight: 2lb 0.4ozPOB: 6” from tsubaMSRP: $128The version I have is the 9260 katana, at the time of recording this sword is selling for $75 plus $30 for the hishigami ito that was done.

Urufu Bodo Gear: Gi and Sword Bags Matthew Jensen 2023-03-15 | This is a review of some budo gear from Urufu. They sent a gi top and two sword bags. Both have been good stuff.If you are interested take a look at their site here - urufu.comFacebook contact here - www.facebook.com/urufubagThe gi top is 65 euro and the bags are between 90 to 100 euro. From my understanding these are made in Barcelona Spain. Javier at Urufu noted he was a textile engineer. I get the impression these are a labor of love as they use materials I do not see in other martial arts equipment.

What katana would I buy if money were not a factor? Matthew Jensen 2023-03-04 | This is a ramble about higher end swords and an attempt to answer the question “What katana would you buy if money were no object?”I created some restrictions here in the sense that I restricted the options to things that are commercially available on the from a vendor. That killed the options of buying a blade form a custom smith (at least the way I do it), random ebay or second hand market finds, and other random deals.The short answer here is an Evolution Blades Motohara series blade. I have been very happy with the LMC and Tensho L6 that I own from them. They are excellent training tools with a lot of attention to detail.

Can you cut with a Yari (Japanese Spear)? Matthew Jensen 2023-02-03 | This video is from an old review I did on the Hanwei Yari. You can see the video here - youtu.be/5ljroF2KAdkThis is probably not the best example of a Yari and many may have survived cutting better than this one did. The video is intended to be a bit of fun.

I did not pay for it.This sword is a factory second, though it seems close to what a new blade would be. *DSA did note to me that these were cosmetic and tempering issues. The blades both have a curve to them. I don’t see the curve in the blade so they must have keener eyes than I do. I don’t study HEMA, keep in my thoughts that of an enthusiast and not an expert.Notable review type things..The bad.The blade feels hefty in a bordering on bad way. The hilt has pointy bits that can hurt your hands.The blade is a little more wobbly than it needs to be.The did not cut bottles or noodles well. The Good.The shape is handsome and somewhat unique.The furniture is detailed and has depth.For smashing targets, it was comfortable in my hands.
