Video of Mokko and steel folding chair. (11/21/05)

This is a quality control/destruction/torture test to show that the cutting edge of our blade is made right/properly heat treated. (Do NOT ever do this to a katana unless you intend to destroy it for testing purposes).

The blade on the Mokko is through hardened to optimize the quality of the 1060 carbon steel. This is not to show the katana being able to go through the chair... but that the tip can withstand the force without bending, rolling the tip, or chipping the kissaki.

Water Bottles - Since I noticed that alot of people don't know what cutting the rolls feel like, I decided to use a more common target. Plastic and aluminum bottles are much easier to cut, but watch out... they do scratch up your polish.
