An egg cleanly sliced in two:

A plastic bottle sliced:

This one is awesome: a tomato cut in two.

And this here is how to make the swords [in Japanese, not slo-mo]:

    i know japanese swords are amazing but… tomato and egg? can’t you do that with a regular knife thin enough?

    You’re right. A tomato and an egg are totally lame. They should have done it the traditional way and taken a live prisoner and tested how cleanly it sliced through him.

    After all, i still think it’s not so bad..try to slice a tomato with an European styled sword :-)

    maybe one of the hardest things is to move the sword with that straight precise line…
