Swords of Northshire Custom Katana Tatami Mat Cutting Test (sent in by a customer)

Katana Test

At Swords of Northshire, we love when our customers have a great experience with our weapons. We make fully functional, battle-ready katanas and knives, so we expect you to be able to use your purchase for practice in the dojo or explorations in the great outdoors. Check out this video of one of our customers doing a katana test that shows the sword’s power up close and personal.

This customer purchased a 9260 Spring Steel Custom Katana and requested that we ship it already sharpened. Once we confirmed his preferred details and specifications, we hand-forged this piece before shipping it out. When it arrived, this customer then conducted a tatami mat cutting katana test. Check out the video to see how he smoothly slices through the barrier in front of him!
