Posted by Kaoru on May 28, 2004, 2:14 am, in reply to "Is my sword suitable for cutting?" And furthermore: you should NEVER be using a sharp blade if you are not training in a dojo under a qualified sensei. And, you will never use a live(sharp) blade for several years anyway, so nevermind even buying one. Just get a bokuto(wooden sword). A live blade in the hands of an untrained person is a very bad thing. Kaoru
No. It is what is called a wallhanger, suitable for a wall only. Do you have a proper Iaido sensei? That is, one who is classically trained. You should not be test cutting(tameshigiri) unsupervised without a sensei.
