Chinese sword cutting tests-video

[YangLiCheng]

this is a short little video from a TV documentary. it shows some of the forging process but it mostly focuses on cutting tests

zhengwutang makes REAL Chinese swords the REAL Chinese way-forged from high carbon steel, folded, welded sanmei construction/lamination and differential heat clay treatments

Thanks for that vid. I enjoyed the forging of the swords along with the cutting.

unfortunantly, the forging part of the video is quite short. i would like it if they showed them folding/welding the different steel alloys together (lamination process)

Great video, nice to see how traditional swords get made

I have a few wushu steal blades, whats with all the hate, its not like id use it in a fight, although that would be rather funny

honestly, i've never understood why anyone use a wushu blade. they make false blades that have the look and feel of real swords so you could use those for beginners
