  • lol this one might be a bit boring or duel for some. but lets talk about the density of some cutting targets to get a better understanding of them.

    Excellent explanation for a SHOCKING number of people that truly have absolutely no grasp of what's really going on..
    Too many young people get their "understanding of physics" from Hollywood and video games..
    Sad-AF..
    Wet, living wood (and normal bamboo) is much easier to cut through than the dried stuff. Anyone with some substantial wood cutting experience can support this.
    Same with cutting up meat - the wet stuff cuts easier. Primitive man used dried bones as armor because the stuff is so much more dense and light weight.
    When the water and moisture evaporate, these materials become more dense by weight.
    Dried bamboo is often used as scaffolding, on the other side of the planet - because it is stronger (by weight) and easier to move from site to site.
    Keep passing knowledge GB, because schools just ain't doing it..
    I learned a little bit more about stainless steel today from your Bowie knife video, so thanks for that.
    You have some first hand experience and knowledge with metallurgy, and I find a lot of value with your opinions and recommendations.
    Ain't no other sword enthusiasts channels sporting that kind of credentials..
    So "Bravo," brother, preach on..

    "Do not think of cutting strongly. If think of cutting to strongly, your cuts will be course. But of course do not think of cutting weakly. Think only of cutting the enemy." Paraphrased - miyamoto musashi.
    Interesting topic I've been thinking about this a lot recently. The topic of bone in practical is a divisive one. Some people who have cut bone say it was pretty easy, no harder than bamboo of green wood. Other people say it's next to impossible to cut. I've never tried so who knows, but I'm leaning towards somewhere between the two. I mean, I've seen a coldsteel advertisement lol.

      It definitely varies, especially what bone it is, plus taking in the fact of muscle tissue.

      @@gargoylesblade yeah for sure plus like with bamboo how long has it been drying out for? Bone apparently starts calcification almost immediately. So unless we're going to send poor little Wilbur out like a 14th century noble, I guess we'll have to speculate lol.
      Oh yeah and kinda funny story, when I bought my first sword at the local shop I asked the guy about warranty.
      He was like "no... manufacturer warranty only. You would need shocked how many people buy 1000$cad dh katana and cut dry bamboo..."
      I was like "well duh don't cut something that's like a freaking rock, swords cut clothes and flesh, maybe bone...that's obvious."
      He said happens all the time people are like "IT cost a 1000$!!! But it chipped when I tried to cut a paint can top to bottom." Lol true story or so I'm told.

      @sinisterswordsman25 that's great, but yes ,in ancient times, if you got a limp,you were just lucky. Otherwise it was more cuts and slashes

      @@gargoylesblade hmm? You think so? Yeah maybe I don't know a lot of arms and legs get cut off in the Norse sagas but then again they're fantastical. 🤔 so at the time people hearing the story would be like "woah, thats crazy." But it would still be believable. Also you gotta figure an 8thC viking had some pretty dense bones. A mma fighter for example has much denser bones than an average person.
      Apparently archeologists decided recently that they could determine where the front lines of battles were by an increase in the concentration of finger bones. But a finger is one thing a thigh or arm is another all together.
