Can I use this paper to clean my katana? The paper I received with my sword cleaning kit was very thin (like tissue paper) but durable.

I can't answer your question. The paper was used as a decoration only and as a gift for someone. Sorry I couldn't help.

Gun oil and a really soft cloth that you will only use for the sword. No need to get that stupid kit when oil does the same thing.

I haven't made any myself, but own a few traditional prints, and the paper is completely different. From what I've seen of the block printing process this paper would be far too flimsy. If you're lucky it might hold up. Washi paper would be far better for block printing. Try this: http://www.amazon.com/Shoji-Paper-Rice-Fibers-6MMU/dp/B0006PYKFK/ref=pd_sbs_ac_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1WVZ3FKGHDA4N3D74Z7P I have a roll of this mulberry paper from Yasutomo. It's thick sturdy, and feels the same as the paper used on the prints I own.

Rice paper could be nice as i think it also has a texture, I have only tried the plain translucent film.

It is reactive, so you should clean it thoroughly after you use it, and dry it. It is an awesome blade.

In my opinion yes, but it doesn't come very sharp, it passed the paper test but is not nearly as sharp as a real hand forged katana

I wouldnt, if you want something reusable I heard better results with cloth filters. Paper is king to me though.

if you mean 'is the paper made of sterile material' - you will need to ask the manufacturers directly. but I doubt it. can you use it top a table to clean fish - think of this product as newsprint material. if you use a regular newspaper to top a table to clean fish - this would serve the same purpose.

Both ways will work. I cut my mine to the lengths I need and reuse it. It lasts quite awhile, especially if you have clean props or subjects so as not to spoil the paper.

NO. this paper is for Japanese/Chinese brush painting. I use photo paper for marbling.

Sorry but don't have any idea what a "Katana" is. I live in an extremely high heat and humidity area where just about everything leather attracts mold and mildew. It's never been found on the large leather sofas on which I use Mr. Leather. Whether this is a result of the product or the tanning process in the leather sofas, I really don't know. I sincerely doubt that the product would "ruin" your "Katana"--try just a little on an inconspicuous spot and see if there's any problems.

Hellos. This paper is moooost likely med grade. It isn't cheap at all, but it isn't very thick either. (I actually have it with me at all times just in case I get an idea, lol). After feeling it. Definitely medium grade.

It depends upon the design. The frog was designed to hold a scabbard with at least a minimal lip (the frog can be tied tightly under the lip). So if your scabbard for your Katana or wakizashi has a lip on it ,it should work. If your thinking about it just holding the sword, if the sword is sharp (not LARP) then the frog may not hold up very well. But I have been pleased with mine.

I have used on rice paper but I think it depends on the thickness. Some rice paper I have used is just too delicate while others have worked fine. If it works it looks cool because it bleeds just slightly on the edges giving it an even more authentic look. Good luck!

Yes. I bought mine for a Bleach cosplay prop. Realize that what you see in the photo is the whole "blade", not a blade in a sheath, and is heavy duty. I masked off the handle, spray painted it the color I needed and then added the details to cusomize it for the character I was playing.

Yes. If it breaks, you can ship it to Estwing or probably take it to any retailer who sells Estwing for exchange (and they'll send the broken one off for replacement or refund). To get it to slice paper, use a stone with leather or a belt sander.

I just used it to cut regular tissue paper, metallic tissue paper, and (why not?) facial tissue. All three made smooth, clean cuts with a fairly new mat and blade.
