Like he said, he can't
Cuts through hollow tube "look how thick this stuff is"
What cracks me up is how the weight of the sword clearly pulls him along with it at the end, until he regains control of it. It gives it an awkwardness, especially in relation to his unathleticism.
salty american kid thinks that japanese swords are the best
arthua saikrishna you try cutting through bamboo, it’s the hardest wood on the world, shooting it will only splinter it, takes a few rounds for complete penatration

Ah the glory days of Cold Steel. I always liked them because, for all their antics and dramatic show, they actually went out and used their products, and did the crazy stuff I'd never do to my own tools.
Glory days? Did something happen?
Those chops to the cow skull were pretty impressive.

Why do they have car salesmen testing swords?
Because these swords aren't exactly marketed towards expert swordsmen only. average people are also watching and buying.
Lynn Thompson might be stought but he studied under Dan Insanato and has many hours and years sparring with swords.
@@lacigreen3968 I believe Rayray's point was that it's stupid on Cold Steel's part to employ some random guy who probably doesn't know shit about swords to talk about swords. This can probably be seen in the low level of professionalism and calling a chinese "dadao" (or "big knife" translated literally from 大刀) a "chinese war sword", which can be considered way to broad since the dadao is a very specific type of sword used in ancient to 20th century chinese warfare, especially when compared with the likes of the "zhanmadao" (斬馬刀, literally "horse chopping sabre") or the "shuang gou" (钩, literally "hook sword"), which are all very different "chinese war swords" in shape, size and technique required to wield them.

Lynn Thompson can kill anyone of us with that sword while his hands are bound behind him. Dudes a beast!

Good video.
This is the sword Chinese soldiers and civilians used to fight against the Japanese in melee battle during the Sino-Japanese war. Before, the bayonet casuality ratio between Chinese soldier and Japanese solider is like 5:1, after using this sword, the ratio goes to 1:1 and sometimes even 1:2
Connor K This sword is an excellent weapon for melee battles. Bayonet training requires more time to be train and the Chinese do not have that luxury. So they turn to the swords and had martial artists to train them. Martial artsts had developed simple steps for Chinese soldiers to learn how to use and master the use of the swords and it takes only several weeks of constant training to do so. For the Japanese, only officers carry swords as they are badges of ranks. Most the swords that Japanese officers carry are sabers known as shinguntos that takes the form of the traditional katana swords. Only a handful carry genuine katana swords as they are most likley family heirlooms. The sword is one Chinese weapon that the Japanese feared. Many Japanese soldiers had lost their lives and limbs at the hands of Chinese soldiers armed with the swords. The Japanese has underestimated to capability of the Chinese sword. To counter the blows of the Chinese swords, Japanese frontline soldiers are issued with special iron collars or body armor. However, they fail to provide any protection as Chinese soldiers still manage to hack through their protective armor.
MrLantean good information
Km
The dadao ratio was 1:1 and 1:2 because it was northern chinese militias using it. Southern Chinese are shorter and have smaller arm length so they cant get that ratio.
@Riccardo If its lighter then its easier to carry around for soldiers and to use it in combat.

This sword is the melee version of the Winchester 1897 - simple, easy to use, and absolutely badass.
You mean mosin negant
The 1897 is a rather complex weapon. As production pump 12's go, I believe it's the 3rd one in history.
When they work, they work, but they have a pretty drastically exposed action, the take down versions are notorious for shooting the head space so loose they won't fire reliably, and servicing them is a matter of an expert with selective fit parts.
They're awesome, but also out of production for good reasons.
Anyone else see a face at the end of the video where the pigs head was lmao

In World War 2 this sword was used by the Chinese army against the Japanese and the katana in close range combat and was known to be so effective that it could break katanas in half and was also used for decapitation.
During the Second Sino-Japanese War, Chinese soldiers were often issued the war sword or dadao for close quarter combat. The blade was larger, broader and thicker and was heavy enough to maximise a killing blow with just one strike. Chinese martial artists taught simple steps and techniques to inexperience soldiers how to use the swords effective and took only a few weeks to master. In the Chinese military, personal of all ranks from senior officers to common soldiers were often armed with swords unlike the Japanse. In the Japanese military, only officers carried swords as they served as badge of rank. However most of the swords carried by Japanese officers were not katanas but military sabers that took the form of a katana. These sabers were known as shinguntos and were mass-produced. Only a handful were genuine katanas forged by master swordsmiths and they were most likely family heirlooms. Japanese soldiers only armed with bayonets for close quarter combat. The Chinese had the edge in close quarter combat and their swords were able to cut a man in half with just one strike. Even rifles were easily cut in half with just one strike. The Chinese war sword was able to inflict psycological fear in the hearts and mind of the Japanese.

Chinese sword are underrated compared to Japanese ones
@Maurice Haynes To be honest, I was a bit of a weeb when I wrote this comment originally, haha. Still though, I'm no expert but I think those two characters just mean "Great sword"? T'would seem like a better idea to just call it a "chinese greatsword" or something, idk. Through and through, my comment was pretty pedantic to begin with.

another buyer, as they do not know me. Purchase your selection from a
licensed dealer such as, "Knife Center." They have a return policy; If
you are dissatisfied, return the item. My position is this: There are
always belligerent people that simply enjoy arguing. The BEST knife in

Still one of the greatest videos ever made on CZcams 2023🎉
The Dadao is the most common secondary weapon for the Chinese army of all factions during the second world war, it is widely, and rightfully, feared by the Japanese as it can decapitate a soldiers head of with ease and is extremely lethal in CQB and urban settings. Many battles were won because of this sword, due to it's high efficiency, strength and ease of operation. It can stab, slash and chop easily through humans as demonstrated and is too heavy to be parried with with the mass produced Japanese officer katana that is obviously of lower quality than professionally made katana. There are even accounts of such a Dadao cutting through enemy rifles during melee combat, would be interesting to see someone test that out.
A similar thing happened in the European theater, with the Soviets using sharpened E-tools against the Nazis and achieve similar physical and psychological trauma against the Nazis.
Thank you CSKnives for this video.
The same thing happened when Cuban rebels fought for their independence against the Spanish crown. The Cubans armed themselves with farm tools, most notably the Latin machete which they would sharpen and modify to be as sharp and strong as possible for combat. Historians say the Cubans would easily chop a Spanish soldier's legs, arms, or head off with a swing of their machetes, and they were so effective that the Spanish even reported back to the crown that they didn't know the Cubans were armed with such "powerful and devastating weapons". There was even a rumor of one Cuban hacking through a Spanish rifle with a machete, but that rumor was never proven.
This weapon gave the imperial japanese army their first humiliation at xifengkou. The IJA which defeated the imperial Russians were defeated for the first time.
Jesus Christ, on every single of these videos, people are ripping into the 'fat guy' in the comments! Leave the guy alone, what's he ever done to you? He's trying to show you that the equipment works, what does it matter how fat he is?? How fat are you lot?
Faith in humanity restored
Its called advertising, that's part of his job. If something is mentioned a lot its going to stick and you'll remember it.
I like the way the weapon was displayed and demonstrated. I recently purchased the Spartan pocket knife and will most likely purchase this sword. It is displayed pretty awesome and I like the video
but he a fat guy! I just can't ignore that... its funny
That guy is also the creator f cold steel
Honestly the best sword I’ve seen
It's a long dagger
During 2nd WW in China, Dadao really make the Japanese shivering
Katana no match....
Why di you compared a katana sword to this thick sword?
@@overlord8780 WWII did actually see an insurgence these modernly obsolete weapons. Though both dadao and katana held symbolic value to Chinese and Japanese cultures respectively, The Chinese did implement basic Dadao training to troops as they were cheap and easy to produce as a utility sidearm... similar to the standard issue Kukri for Nepalese infantry. Japan implemented western modernization with rifle bayonets and issued officers with new, western style sabers (which they were insufficiently trained in using). The Dadao devastated against bayonets in close quarters and when facing officers armed with essentially "display" swords... well... I feel bad for those Japanese officers feeling like sitting ducks.
So there's is truth in katana not really being used VS Dadao in WWII...but not to say I might not have taken place in instances over a 14 year period. (Conflict between China and Japan began in 1931 and ran its course through WWII)

He's swinging it like it's a baseball bat.
He’s trying to make powerful cuts, not cutting like combat
Like Rey in The Rise of Skywalker. 😂😂
What's wrong with that?
The proper name I believe is di doa; the Chinese used this to break Katana. So it is a sword/sword breaker. I want one; it looks better made than other di doa. From what I remember di doa means ghost blade or blade that makes ghost.
I think what u mean by doa is actually pronounced as dao.Dao is a common Mandarin word for sword while Jian for long sword.This one is called Da Dao.Yes,in the hands of an expert it can be used against a katana.
Thanks for the clarity; I, myself am not Chinese but Canadian/Jewish ethnicity. Many of my close buddies are Chinese and spoke to me about this sword and that is the extent of my knowledge on the subject.
andrew Hoard I'm Chinese. And can confirm in cantonese it literally translates to big knife.
it's 刀, pronouncing 'Dau' ,in Chinese ,'Dao' means a weapon got only one blade(more like a 'big knife' in english),and this kind of weapon,is more powerful and stronger than 剑(pronounces 'jian'),and so called katana either.
+Resuscitation Fan dao means knife, Jian means sword.
Great , I need one to settle my parking spot dispute .
No , but if I show him my new blade he may reconsider his atitude .

katana was copied from chinese tang sword.
Not funny
Katana making was the copied of Chinese tang sword but chinese most powerful sword was not tang sword is long quan sword, cos of the water use in the sword without long quan river water u couldn't make long quan sword
Katanas were ceremonial or secondary weapons. European or Chinese greatswords were wielded either to break pike formations or slaughter enemy riders and steeds when the charge has been caught by braced pikemen in the front.
Idk why but I permanently expected someone to say:" now *that's a lot* of damage"
"I dunno Beavis, he looks pretty stupid"...
man...I really like these videos
Nothing clumsy or awkward about the sword: true! But there sure is something clumsy and awkward about that host..
He still looks clumsy and awkward while swinging that sword though. It was mostly intended to be a joke though. But then again, it is one of them jokes were you can sence a hint of truth within it.

Man stfu. You sound like a child
When ole boy simultaneously begins slicing through two pigs in one swing of the sword, I couldn’t think of what it would do to human flesh. This sword will slice right through you, holly shit.
+Alexander Salt First it is a Chinese knife/sabre (dao) as a Chinese sword (jian/gim) is always straight and double-edged (as the Chinese call it).
Second the ones used in WWII were usually poorly made with scrap iron/steel for guerrilla ambush. It had to be used against ANYTHING the Japanese got. The Chinese resistance could only reliably produce dao and hand grenades.
Third it was rarely properly sharpened in real war. It deals damage with sheer weight. It could break wwii standard-issued katana easily as the katana was thin and brittle.
My grandpa was a major in the Chinese Nationalist Army. His unit was lucky to have received proper uniform and rifle, along with plenty of grenades. They were trained to use bayonet for melee as a regular force.
