Does the Cold Steel Competition Cutting Sword live up to its name? Tested, cut with, reviewed

#sword #longsword #review The Cold Steel Competition Cutting Sword is a budget-oriented sword aimed squarely at people who want to compete in Longsword tatami cutting contests. Does it live up to that promise? In this review, I take a close look at it, test it against both backyard targets and tatami, compare its handling to a similar sword, and give my verdict on whether it is worth the price.
