We have done several tests with the 160 Euro Boeker Akito Katana already. As confirmed by expert sword smith Stefan Roth, the Akito is in fact a legitimate Katana, with partial hardening of the edge and a softer back.
While the Katana has been treated pretty rough already, today we put it through the toughest test so far. We put it underneath the mighty “Rubberaulic Press”, basically a cross between a guillotine and a sledge hammer. The massive 50mm steel rod is accelerated down a frame with several hundreds of kilograms of rubber force, hitting the anvil hard enough to double a Euro coin in diameter.
What will the hammer blow do to the poor Akito when it is accelerated right down to the sword edge? See for yourself.
