  • In this video, I cut a few tatami mats with a reproduction of a Yatagan sword from SwordBuy.com. This sword was made in the town of Yatagan, Turkey. This yatagan has a hilt made of ram's horn and weighs only 650 grams, as the originals did. They have another version with a brass hilt which is much heavier (1.3 kg). I found this blade to have a tough temper and it holds an edge well. As you can see in the video, this yatagan cuts well.

    Very versatile weapon and tool for male combat and daily life. Produced many lengths and weights. Janissary core's main weapon which every janissary carries...

    Always a pleasure and an inspiration to watch you cut. Whats your opinion on the steel they use?

    Their website says it's made using "Stainless Steel with 4034 Quality", is that the case? That would probably make it prone to chipping.

      The blade flexes and returns to true. It took an edge well and remains sharp after cutting several tatami mats. I have seen nothing to make me concerned about the durability of the blade. I have a few functional stainless shashkas from Kizlyar in Dagestan that I have cut tatami with and they have proven to be tough and durable. Kizlyar's description of their heat treatment process includes cryo treatment, which I have heard can improve the toughness of some stainless steels. I don't know the process used by the SwordBuy smiths in Yatagan, but the sword that I have seem to be similarly tough and durable.

    this looks a awfull lot like a kopis, interesting design

    • @Tax_Collector01
      @Tax_Collector01 Před rokem

      Yes, but where the Kopis and Kukri excels in chopping power the Yataghan compromises its chopping capabilities for a more balanced blade that could thrust and cut quickly. While the Kopis and Kukri style-blades would struggle with the thrust and consecutive cuts.
