It's weird seeing Nate in regular clothing lol... After two decades of cutting things around the farm, the only thing I can add to this is make sure your grip is aligned with the edge. One of the things I look at on a sword/machete/knife is the handle alignment to the edge. If the handle is aligned to the edge, your grip is aligned with handle, and your wrist is aligned with your forearm, you'll be breezing through pool noodles.
