Hey all. This goes out to all the kenshin on the forums. I just wanted to show off my new sword that has finally come after three months of waiting. Please note that I'am still new to Iaido and my skills are still low so don't make fun of me.
my mom took these pictures so they kinda suck. Sorry [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
Ki Ken Tai Ichi biyatch!!!
nice sword...
send it to me...
how much did it cost you..?
Very nice. I've heard that kenjutsu is an expensive art to take up, can only imagine how much all that gear runs.
It's NOT a real sword in the normal sense of the word. It's an IAITO which is a replica of a real sword made of zinc and aluminium alloy that weighs the same as a real sword and has no sharp edge. but yeah the sword was like three hundred, and that s cheap. the hakama and keiko gi were like four hundred all together. Kenjutsu hasn't been practiced since the meji era. it's evolved into iaido and kendo.
Thank you for correcting me. This is what happens when one's knowledge of swordplay is limited to RurouKen and Mushashi's Five Rings.
I wish there was a way to just pick up a book and learn to do this sort of thing properly. I've heard it's very relaxing once you get into the routine.
yeah 300-400 is cheap...
ive seen katanas worth thousands...and they say there real shinken(is that right) swords, made properly in japan, like back in that era...
Yes it is right. Shinken are only made to order and need to be registered wiht the japanese goverment. you jump through a lot of hoops to get one. the most expensive iaito is like two, three thousand but there almost made in the way as a real sword. A shinken is like eight to ten thousand. Like buying a friggen car. Better start saving up now[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
Nice sword/Iaito Lefty. Looks like it was worth the wait ^_^
it has no sharp edge??? they just dull it a little but it's still sharp, isn't it???
I tried my best...
No it has no edge at all. it's made for begginers like me. but the tip of the blade can go through somebody if your not careful. I've cut my self when reseathing at the end of the kata.
oh, i didn't know that. thanks for telling me.
ouch. u better be careful or that finger can come off.
I tried my best...

Yeah I would recomend iai to anyone especially people who do kendo. iai helps with your strike and give you a little more deapth to inot when ot attack and when to anticapate attack.Originally posted by: Nara Shikamaru VI
