 |
|
I posted a meat cutting cutting session video so I thought I would post a tatame cutting video showing cutting with my new Albion Baron. I am only learning to cut with a straight edge long sword as I am used to cutting with katanas so please bear with me. the Baron did its part if I did mine. I muffed first cut but the rest of cuts were fine.
Here is the link if you want to watch:

fyi...tameshigiri is the act of test cutting, it is not a word used to decribe the items being cut.

Yea, what you're cutting there is 'tatami omote,' usually just referred to as 'tatami'.
Looks like fun!

Hi Michael and Zach;
Yes you both are correct and I have changed it accordingly to tatami omote. Sometimes a things name gets corrupted in the slang of everyday use and tameshigiri becomes the target itself as well the act of cutting. Frankly, I prefer to call it just plain goza but a lot of people do not recognize the term. anyway thanks for pointing this out.
Regards,
Harry
