Cutting Tatami With Blunt Sword

John Clements cuts clean through a moist rolled straw mat with a wood dowel core using a blunt Raven bastard sword, showing how easy straw mats can be cut by a well-honed but even completely unsharpened sword. I take no credit for this video, I simply posted it from the to demonstrate the ease with which tatami can be cut, I am not in it, all work shown was done by ARMA and it’s members.
