dante316a ::: Favorites what is better a chinisse katana or a japanese one 07-08-22 23:00:23 _____________________________________________________
chenessinc ::: Favorites A Japanese made katana is better, If you can afford one. Japanese Government limits production of katanas to a few licensed smiths, and at a maximum production output of 2 swords per month... They can be very expensive. But because so much time and effort can be allocated to each sword, their quality is very high, w/ focus on historic accuracy. They are considered art pieces. (~$10K and up). Chinese made katanas are inexpensive training tools for martial art use, not art pieces. 07-08-23 16:14:22 _____________________________________________________
johnmonk66 ::: Favorites but are mono steel blades really good enough? 07-08-04 23:27:15 _____________________________________________________
samuraispirit66 ::: Favorites well, it depends on what you want. for instance, the cheness kaze is differentially hardened too produce a blade that can absorb much shock and maintain a sharper edge as a result, but is prone too chipping if not used correctly. a cheness monosteel such as the tenchi or shura, cannot hold as sharp an edge as a differential, but is very very durable and has excellent resistance against metal fatigue. 07-08-07 18:09:43 _____________________________________________________
tetlong ::: Favorites how much for a sword? 07-08-04 19:17:49 _____________________________________________________
samuraispirit66 ::: Favorites for a cheness sword, they run much lower than a blade from hanwei or cold steel or whatever, but it is just because Mr.Chen wants too provide you with an economical, but high quality and very functional blade. 07-08-07 18:11:57 _____________________________________________________
