Just a hi and a quick thank you for all the information available here.
I have wanted to purchase a katana for years, just for display, light backyard cutting, and zombie be-heading. The most exposure i had to them was at gun shows, where I would always see the set of 3 swords and rack for ~$50 and the occasional "super-sword" for several hundred. I knew better than to buy these, but didnt really know where to start educating myself.
This site and forum has been so helpful to get an accurate and realistic valuation of the blades.
After several attempts to make my selection, i chose the Munetoshi T10 Light cutter from swordnarmoy. With all the great reviews and info here, i was able to confidently purchase and know exactly what i was getting for the money.
I intend to tighten up the Tusba play a little and maybe replace the Ito with a red one. I'll note that, as far as i can tell, my Ito DOES alternate, unlike the review sword.
From here, I do not know if this will be my "first and last" sword, but even if it is, SBG was a great place to help with the decision.
I'd like too take some swings at some milk jugs or cartons. So, I guess my first question is (and i will search google and here but if anyone has any advice) what should i do to prepare myself to sing the sword SAFELY and not kill myself... :lol:
I plan on just watching some videos or whatever i can on proper cutting technique but any tips are appreciated!
