For those of you who cut regularly, where do you go to buy your tatami mats?

Thanks. Never even thought of using those straw beach mats, and they're half the price of the tatami.

The beach mats are not true "Tatami" mats and will not cut like tatami mats. Thanks. Never even thought of using those straw beach mats, and they're half the price of the tatami. Half price for a reason...see my comment above.

It is true that beach mats aren't true tatami but a double rolled beach mat makes a good target. Plus they feel closer to flesh and muscle than tatami. I've cut pig heads, pork ribs, other meat, and bones. Cutting a target that is skin, meat, and bone you won't feel any resistance or very little until the blade strikes the bone. You will feel more resistance cutting a beach mat than you would cutting meat with the same thickness.

Razor, good to see you back on here. When I was a newbie you were still pretty active on here.
