These two were interesting to test out. Surprisingly mixed bag... So far I've seen very good quality from LK Chen, but there were some odd flaws with the fit and finish that I didn't expect. The blades are great and can cut very well (although they aren't the most forgiving with regards to edge alignment).

In the video I do testing cutting on tatami and a ballistic gel torso, as well as harder testing on branches and particle board, to figure out how sturdy the construction is. I also talk a bit about their historical background. I hope you find the review interesting and informative.
