Non biased review of the SBG Katanas?
In the market for a katana preferably one under $500 so far the big names that pop up are hanwei, paul chen, cheness, cold steel, and the sbg katanas. Each claiming to be the best in the biz. Anyone have any personal experience with any of the swords? Hopefully someone has had more than one of these thats what I'm really looking for a non biased comparison.
to clarify further this katana will be used as both a show piece and a cutter but leaning alot more toward the cutter. When the zombie apocolypse comes around I wanna know this sword is up to the task of severing some heads haha. But in all seriousness I want a sword that can be used for both show and play.
I have seen a couple of SBG swords that i really liked. (my friends model). They offer A Lot a custom options.
I own a hanwei, which i like very much, but all in all it really depends what your going to use it for? Is it going to hang on your wall or are you going to use it? If so what for? Kata, tamashigiri(mat cutting( bad spelling i know)) or just to swing around?
Its really all up to you, and what your going to use it for,because tequality of each of these sword makers are superb. So its not the question of which is best, but which is best for your needs.
hope i helped=)
