This guy sets an interesting standard for sword reviews... From start to finish he manages to entertain. I think a lot of people could learn a lot from his willingness to use humor and self-deprecating stories in his video.

If I'm looking for humor, I'll watch a comedy, or go to a stand-up.

The way i look at it....the money i spend on swords and knives is all 'fun money"
i didnt take money from the food budget to get a sword. I didnt take money that was put aside to pay for my kid's shoes to get a new sword.
The money is all the left over "fun" money that i earn...a little here, a little there.
And so i believe that its ok to have a little fun when spending it. It's not meant to be a serious thing.....it's meant to be fun.
I think this guy hits just the right tone with his sword review....

Despite being fairly rife with mistakes, and his sometimes manic delivery, I did enjoy that. Kudos to him for all the Paul Southern shout-outs as well. I like his up front "I don't know what I'm talking about, I just love this" comments as well.

Clearly he is a member of this forum. I think it is also clear that he would be a great guy to invite to a party, as he seems to have an enjoyable demeanor and a very real love of steel.
I will have to see if he has other sword-related videos?

He did a review on the Hanwei Tactical Katana. I guess I'm just too old, but when I first saw that review back when I was researching the sword, I found him annoying and that he was trying too hard. A better casual reviewer would be that "Morpheus" guy who heads the United Backyard Cutters forum.

It was a very good video too!
He is very entertaining, a very fast talker, and says a lot of things that are very off the wall.
He has to be a member of this forum...I would love to talk swords with him if he ever posts.

I watched that one too. I didn't like it as much as the Cheness review, but it was still entertaining. Like I said; Mistakes? Yes. Misconceptions? Yes. Offensive at times? You bet. Entertaining? I think so.
I also think he may be bi-polar, or possibly manic depressive from his descriptions of his recent life.
