Richard Babin demonstrates the arts of test cutting (tameshigiri) and sworsmanship (battodo). With co-author, Sensei Bob Elder, founder and president of the US Federation of Battodo and the US Federation of Toyama Ryu, Babin covers every aspect of the test-cutting process, including the selection of an appropriate blade, the construction of targets and stands, and the mechanics of cutting, all while emphasizing safety and proper attitude. This invaluable guide also teaches modern swordsmen how to completely rehabilitate a military sword for use in cutting, including straightening, sharpening and polishing the blade and making a new handle and scabbard.

Cutting Targets with the Japanese Sword
This is much more than just a cutting manual. Think of it more like a crash course in the basics for anyone wanting to learn about Japanese swords. It covers care, repair, transportation and simple identification (handy to tell if that old sword is a mass produced gunto or something too valuable to be swinging at targets) as well as how to make new fittings and mountings using western tools. I don't agree with the author on all points, but this book is both broad in scope and useful in its depth, and will probably have something to offer any enthusiast.
