- In general, these are all activities except for traditional chopping test techniques, which involve chopping into special mats.
- Chopping branches, trees and bushes: for this activity people have developed other tools such as axes or machetes
- Chopping or swordplay with another sword: destructive damage to the blade of a samurai sword occurs - samurai avoided any direct contact with the enemy to avoid damaging the blade. The repair was long and expensive
- Never carry a sharp samurai sword with the blade exposed in public: always keep the sword sheathed in the Saya (scabbard). In Germany and other EU countries, this is even an obligation prescribed by gun law
- Never insert a dirty blade into the Saya: If you are performing chopping tests on fruit, clean and preserve the blade immediately after chopping, otherwise the blade will rust and oxidize
- Never leave your sword in a damp place such as a porch, shed, cellar or conservatory: This traditional weapon certainly doesn't deserve such treatment. Always clean the blade after use, brush with oil and store the sword in a dry place.
