Wow, that sword seems very sharp.What's up with the tactical vest. I can hear his mother "You gotta pick up that mess you made in the backyard". He's got some sword skills though..
I've watched a very talented man perform tameshigiri and slice cleanly through 5 tatami mats and a bamboo core with a Rick Barrett katana before. I'm not sure what would have been it's limits, honestly. I "helped" Rick forge one for me (ok, so I asked a lot of questions and did some of the claying work under his instruction) but I am not skilled enough to test it like you see here:

Wow. Can you imagine being this guy's neighbor and watching that episode of psychotic going on his yard?!! WTF? I could sell tickets to that hot mess of nutjob behavior.
And what is with the My Pretty Pony themed grip on his sword? Yikes. The part that concerns me most is how sharp that sword must be.
I only made it 48 seconds in. There were people in my son's Tae Kwon Do class's that could've easily done that with a sharp blade. But he is super tacticooooool
