My next sword purchase will likely be a RK and it will definitely be from Kult of Athena!įor the price, what you get is unbeatable Introductionįirst of all, I would like to precise that I’m no expert in sword cutting. For 250 I am THRILLED with my Ronin Katana model 7. Comfortable in hand, though i dont have a great understanding for what is and isnt maneuverable.
Probably the result of the 2 by 4 which IMO really isnt an appropriate cutting medium.
Only damage present after maybe 2 hrs of ameteur sword strikes into some light materials omly yielded a tiny half inch section 2 inches from the tip where the edge seems to have rolled. Cut some boxes and finally even did some goofing off with 2 by 4s. Sharp enough to cut, but not sharp enough to be dangerous to a bare hand, when no force is behind the blade. Friend and i cut through some two liters. i was notified of shipping and had blade in hand within 2 days.ĭid some rough outdoor tests today. Got the blade in today! Kult of Athenas service was superb. While it may not be a problem with every one of their swords, i worry that my 250 would be flushed down the drain on a sword that would just end up shattering under some more aggressive backdoor cutting. The hanwei is rumored to have heat treat issues. This demonstration and the 1055 steel they use worried me (though ive never used one of their swords). The cold steel models are rumored to have guard issues and in their marketing videos these purposely warp their swords without showing if they can re-set the angle of the blade. For 250 this blades two biggest competitors are th cold steel hand and a half/italian longsword, and the hanwei tinker. After researching what steel would make good swords, ronin katana caught my eye. Excellent! I’m new to the HEMA world but a veteran of the knife community.
