Cutting tatami with the Balaur Arms Byakko Katana from Kult of Athena
Feb 3, 2026
In this video, I cut some tatami mats with the new Byakko Katana from the Balaur Arms line of swords that Kult of Athena sent to me for testing. I was impressed with the performance of this relatively inexpensive katana. As can be seen in the video, it cuts through tatami, even thick double mat targets, with ease.
