Broken Blades Are Dangerous!

In my last post, destructive testing, I gave a warning against misusing your blades by cutting targets that were never part of the intended range. Here's the why! Now, you should all know by now that the katana in the video is nowhere near as durable as one produced by Cheness. Most likely it's made from 440 stainless steel which is quite brittle in long blades and thus, a terrible choice of steel for a sword. Also, if you didn't notice from the video, the guy was hitting the table with the mune of the blade. Another bad idea.

Anyway, this is the result of treating a blade like a two by four or a toy. Don't make the same mistake. Have fun and be safe!
