\nFruits are a popular cutting target because they are cheap and usually soft. This means they are also suitable for beginners. Bananas, lemons and melons are popular because they are easy to cut.
\nWith citrus fruit, it is particularly important to wipe the blade with a damp cloth immediately after cutting, then dry it and finally clean the blade. Otherwise the fruit acid will attack the steel.\n<\/p>\n
\nPlastic bottles and canisters are particularly popular with beginners because the containers can be filled with liquid and therefore become heavier.
\nA heavy cutting target does not simply slip away if the cut is not clean. That's why you see these targets very often on YouTube.\n<\/p>\n
\nTatami omote are the most common target. The mats made of rice straw are often used in Japanese interior design, which is probably why they were converted into a cutting target because there was enough material available.
\nThe mats are soaked for approx. 12 hours and then dried for approx. 2 hours. They then have a good consistency and a suitable weight for cutting.
\nThey are well suited because they are hard enough to give feedback on whether the cut was good. After the cut, you can also judge whether the cut was clean based on the cutting pattern.
\nAt the same time, they are soft enough to prevent the blade from breaking in the event of an unsuccessful cut.
\nThe mats are available in our shop for approx. 10 euros each. You can make about 4 to 5 cuts on one mat. When else can you destroy something for so little money?<\/p>
