CraneStorm: sword swinging, forest dragon!!
Spiritrunner6: I'm really surprised at the depth of the swords curve. it has a look more like a sabre than a katana. I wonder what period/style it reflects.
TheForestDragon: I really wouldn't know, Spiritrunner; I wish I could tell you. But the "Sori", or the curvature in any Japanese-styled sword, was mainly made by master craftsman in the art; Blades tend to twist or warp in the forging process trying to create that big swoop. I'm not much of a cleaver; I like shallow cuts and slices as well as a good accurate thrust; But this things real CLEAVER! I could cut a deer in half with this thing! Thanks for stopping by! 'Priciate the commentary, man.
TheForestDragon: I'm exaggerating about the whole deer thing, just to be clear, and be sure I don't give anyone the wrong idea; I have a hard time with double mat rolls, and the "Forest Dragon" isn't the Muramasa.
Spiritrunner6: LOL no problem on all caounts. And no biggie on not knowing where the sword design came from. Heh I had just never seen one with that deep a curve. My own personal preference is a blade that is nearly straight. Makes for a solid chop, and a mean tip-cut. ^_^
TheForestDragon: Oh definitely, Runner; Straighter blades, like the "Ninja-To", are really good on focused thrusting; but the compression point isn't that wide. You REALLY gotta get a good feel for a straighter blade. But with a Big Sori, you have a MUCH wider point of focused impact; hence why almost every cavalry sword in history [I'd like to cite a lot of United States Sabre] at least had some curve in it. As a matter of fact, I found your observation of the Cutlass-like curve rather astute! Friending you.
Spiritrunner6: Hehe thanks for the friend. I hadn't even realised we hadn't yet! And yeah those curves were some useful. it widens that 'sweet spot' of the sword quite well. Not to mention it makes the draw-cut much more powerful too by keeping the blade in contact wioth the target for longer. ...What can I say? ... I'm a Geek (D'uh) and I love swords. ^_^
TheForestDragon: Sir, I must know if you have an instant messaging program of some sort so that we may discuss this further! I don't want anyone to hesitate to comment thinking I treat my videos like AIM, y'know? LOL
Spiritrunner6: heh yeah I know what you mean there. Mostly it's Mirc for me and on rare occasion skype. If you have it Pm me and I'll pop you on. But for now it's bedtime anyways. ... yanno time difference making it 4:00 in the morning and all.... yeah... *trudges off*
