I was wondering if any you guys happend to practice kendo, or collect katanas. I have several high quality forged and folded blades, which are fully functional. They are razor sharp and are all handmade and use folded steel 1060carbon steel to be precice. I am just wondering if any of you guys happen to own a katana, or would be interest in one. I have cases, cleaning and disasembly kits to go with them. I am very cheap also. If you email me I can send pictures and answer any questions you may have. I just though you guys might appreciate the offer.

Yes, but surely you mean Tamashigiri, and when I asked if anyone practicing Kendo, I mearly meant Sword Art. And If you practice Kendo, then you will use a live blade to perform Tamashigiri. Its like saying you do karate, and someone says I practice mawashigiri, its an element of the greater picture, and are mearly Japaneze words.

No, he was right with tameshigiri.
Very few kendoka perform tameshigiri as part of their studies. Tameshigiri is an element within JSA, not a waza like mawashigiri. Not a particularly good analogy there. |
