Indeed, I saw that awhile ago and remembered that friend actually has one of those 'ninjato's. He says his is actually quite sturdy, having beaten it against a wooden fence repeatedly... I don't know. I still warned him of the poor quality... I don't know if it's failed for him yet... haven't spoken in awhile.

I used to have one. Until I decided to be stupid and hack at it repeatedly with my new Celtic sword until it broke which was about three times . I didn't do it edge to edge though. I basically set it up with both polars parts of the blade each set on a wooden stump. Still, it was a rather dangerous thing to do. I seriously doubt they have a quality control on those swords. Some are really sturdy(mine had actually kept together against several wood blocks until I destroyed it with my Celtic sword because I was getting impatient. And then you see it break with a light tap on this video. I guess it depends on the wood too though. Oak is very dense and tough compared to like pine. In fact, when you see martial artists break boards, usually they're breaking pine. Oak is ALOT harder to break. Trust me, I take karate and they're twice as hard to break than pine which practically a 7 year old can break with proper technique
