Yup, looks like he's not use to using that big boy. Anyone know what that monster is called.

[Brian Brazier]

I think that is the kind of blade that the Paul Chen Performance line is based on, I cannot remember what the name is, but it defiantly looks like one

Anyone know what that monster is called.
I wish he'd hold the darn thing still for a few moments but it looks to me like a Hira-Zukuri style blade which was popular during the Nambokucho period,these blades tended to be wider and flatter,often with O-kissaki...if you look carefully,there doesn't appear to be any shinogi.
This is one of Howard Clark's but the nagasa is 33" long so it doesn't look as wide as the one in the vid'.

But in all seriousness, That's one damn sexy sword hes using! (The dwarf-esque tameshigiri guy's nihonto) ;D

[HeadCheese]

I really like the geometry of the sword (in the first video - not the monstrosity immediately above), though I suspect it's made to look that much bigger by the hobbit-esque stature of the fellow doing the tamashigiri in the video.

[rayskin]

wow anybody know where i can get one of those. not the busters

[ChrisPhoenix]

I really want one too :O anyone have anywhere in mind that close to that thats buyable?

[RobbyDoom]

It kind of looks like the Paul Chen Banshee. I, however could be wrong

A closer look says nein!!! It's definitely a beast.
Youtube is so choppy sometimes. At times, things don't resemble what they really are.
