Either a crummy sword or lousy technique (thankfully). A real sword, especially a shinken, is 30" of razor and will take off parts with every stroke.

Either a crummy sword or lousy technique Probably a bit of both. Good swords are quite pricey and the regular ones you get over the internet tend not to take or hold and edge very well.
