When you see a Japanese sword slashing, you might think their swords are incredibly sharp, right? While katanas are indeed quite sharp, their blades are thin and can bend if the angle is off or the target is hard. In many demonstrations, they slash through rolled-up straw mats, but not everyone can succeed. Cutting isn't about force; it's about technique and experience. Mastery comes from harmonizing with the sword. For example, beginners struggle to cut paper, but after a few months of training, they can slice through it cleanly.
