Yeah...
Im not going to be cutting on my kids trampoline... I looked the pipe up last night ... I will try to find some similar . It shouldnt really be an issue ... The pipe seemed thin... Seemed more of a parlor trick than anything... Not that he isn't amazing , the airsoft thing ... Wow

Can't wait to see the next one. Is it with another 1045 or one of the 1060's?

IMPRESSIVE how that Kissaki didnt bend or mess up, ive bumped the kissaki of other swords against softer stuff and rolled them. the 1060s really hold up well

I agree. That video gave me more confidence in a company that I was already sold on. I can't wait till the day when I can afford one of their Dojo Pro's.
I really liked the testing against the 1045 blade, that was really cool. It also destroyed that copper pipe.

Marc, thanks for round 2 of the RKDTVS video. Thanks for donating a couple 3 or so of Sasha's dinners to the tests. Alpo stands no chance against the 1060 kat. Cutting the copper pipe was very good to see done. Ronin Katana just might get a decent boost in sales from these tests. PS-was there a flying budk ryu move slipped in there? I could have sworn we may have almost witnessed one.

Glad i checked in this weekend, was tied up with football playoff gatherings. Wow Man Amazing Vids, I was already sold and bought my "29 pro last month, this series of vids just amplifies my faith in these blades, i wouldnt have the heart to demolish em lol, really this should be a permament Headline sticky link for the Katana section for easy view if anyone misses this series of vids, would be priceless info for beginners or first time Ronin buyers. Was an honest test love the breakdown, informative from begining to end. I think you were having fun (defined by the chuckles i heard) with the puppy chow event of 2012 lol. to agree with S.Price I too seen what looks like the flying Budk move on the trash can , nice hehe. everyone can lay to rest doubts of the strength of that trash can, i have some older ones simular to that in my garage, they are thick with re-enforced rims and tougher than they appear guys. I second the motion of placeing those 2 blades on a wall plaque for a display tribute, if not send em to me i'll gladly display them with pride. Thanks for the Kick azz "in Depth review heres a Well earned Karma....

I love the look in video #5 the aftermath. Me and my buddy were doing the same thing. How can this sword hit a 4x4 at full strength and bend, but break at a much lower strength on something flat. The rim on that can looks tough. I agree, it saddens the heart, but It does show Ronin to be a good investment. That 1060 does look good when you see its innards, nice, compact and consistest. Looks like I will have to fill the waki hole in my collection with a dojo pro.
