The fabric is cotton, the white "leather" is stingray/shark leather. The blade should be hard to take out cause in theory the sword shouldn't come out at all. Also 1060 is recommended for basic use and the higher the grade of the steel would be for more contact. All and all, 1045 steel, 1060 steel, and 1095 steel to t10 steel is like the ranking of the swords for "their" use. What I have heard at least. There should be oil, its for the protection of the sword during traveling so the different temps and elements don't make the sword rust.
Also, something that I would like to add. Is that the quality of the materials and everything about it is produced in Italy (quality) and the made in china could be the design and etc. And please don't say that because it is an entry level katana, it is probably made in china. There are swords that are entry and nonentry can be made in Japan as well and other countries. Even though 1060 steel is medium, the properties of it can make it durable and quite durable even for combat, 1095 and t10 are recommended as well. Even though 1060 is not up to 1095 and t10, you can or it can still give you quite the results. Also, nowadays the swords shouldn't be rasor sharp simply because the blade becomes more brittle.
the oil is for rusting when its being shipped you should wipe it off when you get it, touching carbon steel will make it rust any other steel will be fine
@@allosMD Don’t wanna be a terrible critic but tbf.. that wasn’t a smart way to open the sword. Around 5 mins was even worse though. If that was a Nihonto it would have been a hell of a lot more than a mere cut... what you do is you push the tsuba not right on top but slightly to the side. Because if it did flick open and your finger was on top, and it slipped down onto the edge... say goodbye to your finger. So push it slightly to the side of the sword. *Safety tips ;)* I do iaido and people have made that mistake and it has cost them much. So just be careful. One shouldn’t really have a Shinken if not trained with an iaito first. But nice review anyway 👍🏻
Nice! I recently got a Yarinohanzo blade, practical Ronin Katana Iaito. I was surprised to see it come clay tempered, contrasting to what it said on website. I was just wondering however. Yours is practical right? Is suitable for cutting things like bamboo or straw mat?
Yep it's normal if it's hard to open because it's perfectly fitted so basically it's a good craftsmanship, I bought mine from my old friend but I can't open it because of the fitting he made so I told him how to open it, he said just pull it all you can, I'm like: well shi*
1060 hcs is High Carbon Steel and is very good steel for that blade and many others HCS high carbon steel. It a good Sword if you take care of it it will take care of you and it's made in China not Italy. How much does it cost for you if you don't mind me asking and be careful.
Speaking about law, you could, exactly as you can buy a knife or machete. Just knifes at double sharpened edge are forbidden due to the fact that are considered military equipment, like a baionetta. Clearly, exactly as knifes, you can not take with you out from your home, but this is another law, called "giustificato motivo"
Samuele, una precisazione necessaria. Puoi comprarla, certo, fartela arrivare a casa e tutto, ma c'è l'obbligo di denuncia. Leggeteli bene i testi delle leggi, è una "spada affilata", quindi va denunciata al comando dei carabinieri 😉👍 inutile dire che potrai allenartici in casa, ma non potrai MAI portarla fuori, perché si tratta di un'arma vera e propria e decade anche il "giustificato motivo" (che esiste, ad esempio, per coltelli da bushcraft o caccia, o per i chiudibili...insomma per quelli considerati attrezzi, non armi). Spero di essere stato utile
It depends what do you mean by 'real sword'. A japanese katana sword costs usually thousands of dollars/euros. A practical katana, only a fraction of that, but again it is matter of quality, and what do you want to use your katana for..
@@allosMD Yes, I mean the real katana sword, that is, the handmade samurai sword, the actual katana. How do I know that it is a real katana sword as it is known that it is durable, solid and sharp with a sharp blade, and all the specifications of the samurai sword are embodied in it. How do I distinguish it from a commercially made katana sword? Also, where do I get it from?
@@allosMD Thanks im hoping to get a YariNoHanzo sword soon... Would you reccomend the brand? Im looking for a cheap katana that looks nice for display but could be used as its intended purpose if needed
@@TM-rh7zs If you can't find a cold steel blade at a reasonable price, the Yarinohanzo are ok in the +-100 $ price.. I 've seen good reviews for the Musashi blades at the same price range, but I wasn't able to find them in Europe.
@@allosMD I live in the UK so its difficult to find websites that sell katanas and cold steel is way out of my budget lol ... but i have found alot of decent looking katanas on KatanaMart (Most of them are YariNoHanzo branded) and BladesUK...

This sword has a cutting edge and it is made from 1060 steel -not from aluminium-zinc alloy from which most laitos are made. It sure is not the best katana out there, but it can be used as a weapon unlike a laito

@@EvilShinsaitho Something disappointing to tell you. Any carbon steel is good if its hardened. This is. In fact 1060 is the best for an entry level cheepo sword for some cuts. It’s flexible but durable. And yea any sword in the range of $1 to $400 is a cheepo compared to the Nihontos
@@EvilShinsaitho 1060 steel exists also for Iaitos BUT this is 100% a Katana and not a Iaito. A Iaito is not sharp. Also 1060 steel is good enough for more than 95% of Katana owners. The most have Katana for looking at it and to make sometimes cuttings and not need to have the best sharp sword.
Ito is usually made out of silk or cotton...even on original nihonto. Stingray's skin is used for the two cheeks under the ito.i

Great choice!
The oil is to prevent rusting and you need to keep oil on the blade and touching it will cause it to rust.
Thanks! I' ve been using a bit of gun oil..I hope it's ok!

Guys how long does it take for them to ship the item in other countries like Philippines for example
Avoid to touch the blade with barehands, for prevent it from rusting.
