A NOTE FROM PAUL: All of the monotempered Katana here (i.e. by monotempered I mean the steel is the same consistency all the way through - no lamination, folding, differential hardening) are almost equally tough, though my experiences suggest that the SGC Yamakami is probably the toughest.

While these swords are easily some of the most durable on the market, I do NOT recommend doing anything abusive with them. Not only is it dangerous, but while my cutting form is far from perfect, I always pay extremely careful attention to blade alignment - so while with these blades a botched cut on a tatami mat is no problem, a botched cut on a dry wooden log may turn out to be a different story.

In short, while these are extremely forgiving blades and PERFECT for a beginner - please be sensible with them...

Product - Cheness 9260 Dojo Cutters

Cheness-dojo.jpg
These would have to be my favorite 'bang for your buck' Japanese Dojo swords of all time...

Designed specifically for frequent test cutting (tameshigiri) against traditional targets such as Tatami Omote (Goza) and occasional cutting of other medium-hard targets such as 3"+ bamboo and beyond.

With beautifully heat treated through hardened (monosteel) blades forged from Cheness Cutleries legendary 9260 Spring Steel, taking a set on a bad cut becomes a thing of the past! Easily the most durable, yet properly balanced Japanese swords available for under US$300, these Katana are ideal for the Dojo or the experienced backyard cutter alike.
