Yes I've seen it before, it's been making the rounds of various sword forums and re-enactment sites. It's still kinda funny. Of course I'm not sure what the guy was thinking smacking the blade on its flat. I wonder how sales were after that?

Why are they calling "wall hangers" practice katanas?

Somehow, I don't think their sales improved. "Folks, we might need emergency surgery here in the studio." - Not the best marketing campaign.

On the other hand, it something of a cautionary tale for "why I will not buy cheap swords, or swords made from a relatively inflexible metal."

If you have audio, listen to that "ting" when it breaks.

I love that show! It's hillarious!

I wish someone could find the one where the other guy dropps the bowie knife into his foot.

Again why you don't buy a $30 POS katana, espicallly when it's marked up to $150 +.
