First time doing Tameshigiri with my Shinwa Odachi on a pool noodle. Need to work on my yokoichimonji/suehe (flat cut), but it cuts pretty good for the price. The shape of the blade makes this thing sail through noodles like they're nothing (the bad flat cut was me not the sword, flat cut is the most difficult to do properly and successfully)

Here's how my Shinwa Odachi looks after I rewrapped the Tsuka. I know using to separate pieces of Ito like I did isn't traditional but I had so much of it done and I didn't want to have to rewrap it again, also because after testing I'm probably going to shorten the tsuka from 22" to 16"-17" and if I do that the Tsukamaki will be the way it should be and if I don't shorten it then I'll just eventually rewrap it .

Here's how the Tsukamaki was on my Shinwa Odachi before I redid it. The Ito was loose, Menuki were upside down, Kashira was upside down, the Ito didn't alternate and the Omote end knot was tied wrong.

Second time cutting with my Shinwa Odachi, but first time after shortening the tsuka (handle) down to 16". Tsubame-gaeshi (turning swallow's cut) is the cutting pattern I am using.
Working some more with my Nodachi on some standing Shoden waza from Muso Jikiden Eishin ryu.

Just practicing some of my favorite techniques and a teaser at the end of a bokken I plan on showing more soon. Sorry it took me to long to post again, I've been having trouble with my camera lately luckily I'm getting a replacement soon. Keep your eyes open for more project vids and some other vids I have planned :-)

Finally finished my Shinwa Odachi. I made the tsuba, Kurigata and Kojiri from scratch and I made the menuki out of conchos. I shortened the Tsuka a bit more than before I started this as well, before it was about 16 1/4" and now it's 15 3/4" which feels better to me while still providing a good amount of tsuka at the end to hit with. I rewrapped the Tsuka in shonai zuka (common).

Here's my review on the Shinwa Odachi. Very nice sword for the price and definitely a sword I recommend if you are looking for an entry level Nodachi. Definitely a sword I will continue using for the price especially after all the customizing I did to it. The Sageo is the black and yellow 4 strand 550 paracord Sageo I made.
