Post: BLACK PANTA:
can someone post a good site where one can learn how to sharpen a katana?>

Oh Panta, I'm sure we have gone over this before.
Sharpening a japanese sword is not something you pick up from a book or website, its an art. People polish and sharpen swords for a living and as an art form.
Do it wrong and the sword is crap plus you end up paying more in the end to have it fixed. Even the samurai brought their swords to professionals to be polished and sharpened.
A famous sign from the fictional account of Miyamoto Musashi's life read "souls polished here". That should be a good indication as to the seriousness of the art.
I'm of course assuming you mean a real sword, because if its one of those cheapo ones, well you shouldn't be cutting with it in the first place.

Backs up my previous post and points out an obvious point that I missed... you polish a japanese sword, good cutting is a result of good technique, not a sharp sword.>
Post: BLACK PANTA:
sorry buddy, I was really asking for my buddy, i told him that it's maad hard to sharpen a sword, but he has this very nice Paul Chen sword that he wants to get *shudder* machine sharpened.>
Post: bamboo:
Oh a paul chen sword... I thought you said a japanese sword, not a mass produced overly exagerated steak knife, just machine sharpen it. If he really did iaido seriously, it would not even be a question, but if hes silly enough, well what can I say?
Getting a paul chen sword polished is kinda silly in my opinion, it'll cost more to ppolish than the sword is worth.
Has he ever heard of an iaito?

Post: BLACK PANTA:
he used his sensei's iaito. Paul Chen makes pretty good swords tho. I read on Bugei that he does, they work with him aswell.....His swords are forged and differently tempered>

BLACK PANTA
He can send his sword to Sensei James Williams from bugei.com or to cold steel. They will polish and sharp sword. They are both good.
Paul Chen swords? hm, yes they made swords for bugei.com, but also these swords are not same Paul Chen swords that you may find on any other place. There swords on bugei.com are made exclusive just for bugei.com. Also as they said on bugei.com their swords are not same swords that were used by Samurais, or for battlefield. They are good, really good, but not best.>

oh yeah guys I forgot to mention....we're poor>
Post: Dirty_Irishman:
Flea market swords are the best. After all, I'm not going into battle with it. If I ever did have to fight with it, it would be a thrust or hack while they're back is turned...but then again, a sword isn't very practical in my tiny apartment either.>

Is an iaito a practice sword?>
Post: Wilhelm von Wänkensteïn:
Iaito are blades made from lighter, nonferrous alloys like duralumin and meant specifically for the practice of iaido, or the classical budo of iaido, which came from the combative iaijutsu of various older koryu styles. The reason that these blades are made are, I believe, to prevent excessive fatigue and wrist strain so as to allow for longer practice sessions and, since there is no tamashigiri (live cutting) in iaido (at least, as far as I know), it saves you having to spend a lot of time maintaining a blade that will never cut anything.>

Thanks, mate.>
