Tameshigiri is the test cut. Only an opener: in the middle of a fight there is no time for it.

Format: tameshigiri target: one cut at the target, even one the samurai cannot see.

Format: tameshigiri: one sweeping cut at everyone in the room, the unseen included. Group mates, pets and those under the gods' protection are spared.

Each cut is a plain blow of the wielded blade. When the sweep finds nobody to cut, the samurai reads the blade instead: how rare its steel is, whether it still suits his hand, and the state of its edge. A master of the skill also sees what makes the blade valuable.
