    1060 is good for a dojo blade.. it holds an edge well enough and forgiving if you don't get a good cut... anything over 1085 and and the steel is so hard, your blade is likely to chip if you cut 'wrong"..

    Sure it has a hard edge.. but.. for day to day cutting, I'd go with 1060 or 5160 for mono tempered cutters..

    Ronin Katana is my fave (Dojo Pro).. Solid blades for the money.. the "AK's" of the sword world...

    I looked that those exact ones.  Will probably end up being my next Katana.  It's funny that you mention the "AK of the Sword World" because that is exactly how I posed the question when looking for a sword!  Haha.

     

    I asked what would be the equivalent to an AK.  haha.gif

     

    They have their scratch and dent sale, soon.. normally a ding on the saya or something minor... perfect for "cutters"... tell Chris @ Ronin Kat that Juggs sent ya...

     

    I'll be sure to mention!

  3. Wow, a very nice FUNCTIONAL blade.  I think one of my cousins still has a real 1858 or so British Calvary Saber that supposedly saw active duty for the South during the War Of Northern Aggression. I got to handle it years ago.  If the steel could talk.  A very nicely balanced deadly edged weapon indeed.  Can you shave with your edge?  Big edged weapons give me the willies!  Yikes!  smile.png

    Portions of the blade are probably shave sharp.  It's not got the most even edge on it but the whole thing is sharp.  Glides through paper.

     

    I took it out and was cutting milk jugs of water.  Need to get or make some cutting mats.

  4. Just wanted to share my latest project.  Going to be my first SBS when Trust and everything is complete.

    Picked it up as a 28" barrel over the weekend.  Cut it down to 18.25" will be putting a bead back on for now until I can finish it off.

    Will be cutting about an inch off the stock too and refitting the butt pad.  Want to keep it looking classic.

    And here I didn't stop at the Magpul booth as I thought there was nothing new worth looking at.  Damn.

     

    I would SERIOUSLY consider cancelling the Definitive Arms plan if I could get 5.56 AK mags from Magpul....

     

    I'm going to snag one when it comes out and see if it runs reliably with 5.56. The follower design they're using looks almost identical to the 5.56 follower in the Beryl. If nothing else they may accept Pmag followers.

     

    Awesome.  I was considering doing the same.
