    Thank you so much for showing the results of the abusive tests. Cloudhammer clearly does impeccable heat treatment with their S5 steel, absolutely top of the game in terms of blade durability in today's katana world. I would like to see their S5 blades pitted against Howard Clark's L6 blades in a death battle of durability.

    It's amazing that the traditional way of forging katana still exists. However, I think even the samurai would have wanted a S5 katana 😁 The dream would be a S5 with clay tempered hamon 😮😮

    • @JoeSteel1
      @JoeSteel1  Месяц назад +2

      Great point! Agreed made a video argument in a short regarding how more formidable the Samurai would have been with the access to these super steel. the nature of S5 Is to be through hardened so clay tempering would weaken the blade. but yes would look nice

      Well see so far the edge is good still...but technically the edge retention is good but not the best it excells in toughness, absorbs impacts so freaking good, with no cracks or bends...thus far....definitely a Steel to be reckoned with in 24

      Unless there are nails in the wood it should be fine, the only thing that might happen eventually is the nakago or tang would shift from the friction, but everything is still pretty tight on this...and blade is fine...its a strong steel but everything has its limits, this happens to be alot higher than orhers

    How are they going to go from having kashira that hangs out proud of the ito, to now having the ito overlap the outside of the kashira? I mean its better the new way of course so thats good. Hopefully they saw past criticisms and are now fundamentally changing their handle designs...hopefully?

    • @JoeSteel1
      @JoeSteel1  Месяц назад

      If they are not gonna, or able to perfectly line it up, then overlap of ITO over KASHIRA is WAY better, the metal overlapped cap won't cut into your palm. Kudos for absolutely listening to criticism to improve products

    why sk5 should be a super steel? is not and is not what i'd put on blade. expc a katana that is not the sharpest and strongest sword at hand. Better go with a 1060 or, for good looking, the same sandwich of mild steel and a hard steel for the core. but again....is a katana.

    • @JoeSteel1
      @JoeSteel1  21 день назад

      Hard to follow what your saying words are a little jumbled but I think your saying there are other steels that work better for a Katana, which is valid depending on what the customer wants/needs and can afford
