its a really nie sword shame i wouldnt be able to get on into this country because i would have to pay like a thousand pounds to get it past customs :(
just FYI that the round ball is not the moon as all dragon come with a fireball which they spit fire from, if u go on the tube to see the lion and dragon dance u see the dragon is chasing after the ball
I just got my first real samurai sword a few days ago and wow is it amazing, I sliced threw half gallon water jugs like there were made out of butter, at first I thought it was going to send the bottle flying with a small cut on it but it lopped the top clean off and it didn't move at all the jug
@TheCoffemaniac You're easily looking at $30,000 and up for a traditionally forged, authentic katana. Try looking at Hanwei or Bugei for authentic swords, a little cheaper but just as nice.
@jrewdown21 The seller of the sword will handle the customs and shipping for you. Have fun in Japan. It is a beautiful country. I would love to go back.
It is not necessarily an iaito due to the length of the bohi, but if you look close enough at the kissaki, you can see that the yokote is fake. Therefore, iaito or mogito. Also the habaki seemed a bit small to me, which is common on mogito.
Either way... congrats on your sword that means something to you!
I got an M4 lol I named it Zues... but I would very much like an authentic hand crafted Samurai sword like the one in this video I would love naming it
@BestraferEngel ....... Dont get your information about swords or culture from anime, please. Ive NEVER heard of this before except from extremely misinformed people or as a joke between people who actually know what theyre talking about. If you insist you are right, site your sources and we'll go from there.
@LotusDragon09 My sources.... probably from the novel Shogun (James Clavell) not an anime. The point is you are not meant to draw the blade unless you intend to use it. Swords are for killing, not showing off.
@BestraferEngel Thats a story book... Try reading purely non-fiction information books instead. What you said still doesnt make sense. As much as swords ARE weapons and designed for killing, they are still art in my eyes and in the eyes of many other people. Are you saying I cant draw my sword and hold it in a non-threatening way to show it to someone else? Ridiculous. Cant clean it, cant practice with it, cant simply look at its beauty...can only kill with it. Do you really believe this?
@BestraferEngel Well alright. I can see we both have strong differences in opinion and neither will budge. No sense trying to make them budge. I do know that even museums display swords unsheathed, so...well, there you go. But I respect your opinion too.
@LotusDragon09 yes.. they display them unsheathed on racks, behind glass. There is a purpose to that too, namely, to lessen the care and maintenance required, and also to properly display historical artifacts.
Swords left in thier scabard, even if properly cleaned and oiled for storage before hand tend to deteriorate over time, as moisture becomes trapped inside the scabbard, unless its in a strictly controlled environment (which is expensive and usually only used for books, to my knowledge.)

@LotusDragon09 and also.. by display, i meant the type of display we have been discussing, not the long term display, as in a museum.
drawing the blade halfway is quite sufficient to display the workmanship of the steel, and the hamon, and almost entirely eliminates the chance of and accident, as the blade is still restricted in motion by the sheath.
I still say a blade should only be unsheathed for care or use (or protected display) but you are correct that we both have our opinions.
@LotusDragon09 "The concept that a katana must draw blood before being sheathed comes from stories surrounding some of those bloodthirsty Muramasa blades."
@BestraferEngel Now that makes sense. Not that its true, but thats what I was talking about when I said it was ridiculous. You dont have to kill someone when you draw your sword, thats pure fantasy BS. Those stories are where it comes from and some anime only encourages it. Im not sure what your stance is on this though as after giving me that quote, we seem to agree now all. My sources? Logic. Just think about things and sometime the really ludicrous stuff will become apparent.
@LotusDragon09 Again.. you do not have to draw it fully to display it... and pulling out a full sized 'real' sword (not the welded bolt display pieces) is EXACTLY like pulling out a loaded, cocked pistol, with the safety off to show off. Highly dangerous, and a jackass move.. it only take one slip, trip, or something startling whoever has the weapon to make it a bad scene.
I still feel that drawing it fully except to clean, or to draw blood (not necessarily kill) is bad juju.

@rogantu wow, I forgot all about this! I was supposed to do a sword cleaning vid! Thanks for the reminder. I probably won't do it now. But there are lots of good vids out there for sword cleaning already. Good to hear from you!
@epicfantasy you know you got ripped off? Thats an Iaito. The way I can tell is because on the Iaito's the Bohi ( blood groove as most call it) doesnt go into the Habaki. This Iaito ( blunt edge....Blade is usually some kind of aluminum Alloy) would cost you in USD $600 at the most. Dont get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with an Iaito......but if you were looking for a Nihonto....it would cost you $5K at the least.
@KagaKiyomitsu so its a rule of nature that swords with hi must have it(they) run all the way through the habaki? and if the hi is forward the habaki than it is automatically an iato, non live blade, and aluminum alloy?...i dont mean to be rude or sound condescending...i have a blade that the hi starts forward the habaki...it is NOT iaito..it is fully sharpened, and NOT aluminum...5160 spring steel... so to me this sword looks just fine...also if you note the hamon it is authentic.not on aluminm
wow great sword i am so angry i did not get to see a vision like the one you had lol,but i would like to know how much it cost because i was looking into getting a katana but dont know how much to spend?
@AURORAZ99 the money doesn't matter. The vision is what counts and it brought me to the right sword. It will come to you too when the time is right. maybe you are not ready yet,. Or maybe the right sword hasn't been made yet.
wow so beautiful man!!!!! where in japan is the shop,,, i travel to japan every other year is it in tokyo ? Kyoto ? if in tokyo what district ASAKUSA?
Regardless of cost, the sword spoke to you, you were prepared to pay the asking price and got a thing of beauty. I suspect you would have paid more if you had needed to. Thanks for posting.
@wasa50 why don't u give half of the money to people who are in need to make other people happy as well. there are people in africa or saudi arabia which only 2 dollar can keep them a live for long time,longer than when u get ur sword and u r happy of it.
@zederish Surely if you're that concerned about poverty abroad, you merely stumbled onto a video on youtube about a guy looking for a samurai sword, and only by happy chance did you have enough free time to compose and submit a comment in between your ceaseless charity and NGO-related work.
@Saavykaas no that's not what happening. but again spending that much for a useless large knife to me is stupid. go pay 8000 dollars on ebay for (fake)ancient dildo, is ur life is ur money, u can even burn ur money to warm ur house up or u could buy wood with that money and burn the wood
I don't want to seem like a "know it all" person. But i find it hard to believe that that sword is a handcrafted sword from a real swordsmith. I have read that only as many as 12 real Katana are made in Japan each year, and before they are even completed, they are spoken for and the usual cost is 15-25000 $. Now, im not saying your Katana isn't forged, but if you bought it for 1000$, i doubt its forged by a real swordsmith. I apologize if i am incorrect.
@Dreez76 You are incorrect, although only slightly. It is true that Japan has a limit on swords made from ferrous material, but the restriction you cite is per smith (one per month, so smiths sometimes make iaito to pay the bills). The price of a japanese sword depends on a huge number of factors; materials used, process used, the smith making it, fittings, style of the blade, etc.
Was his sword likely one of the best? No, but $1000 is about right for an average production katana.
@pandamarihuana Thanks! That whole experience of traveling to Japan and allowing the sword to find me was really something special. I just went on a very interesting experience to Egypt. Should check out my vids if you haven't.
Hi, I don't mean to be rude, but how much did your sword cost to buy? I'm looking into buying one and was wondering what the prices are for genuine katana's
you paid dearly for this sword? she is an authentic Japanese katana made according to tradition and including Tamahagane?Mr Hashimoto sells their swords to any foreign?

Thanks.That sword you bought is a real Japanese sword made in the tradition including Tamahagane? They sell to any foreign? How much would one of these sword?Less than U$10k can find one of these?
One very important point to recall when buying a sword is that no one should buy any sword anywhere. Your not buying a pair of jeans that any size fits anybody. The sword has to be measure at your body measures and also a spiritual ritual must be made. A cutting instrument like that could be possessed by evil. Be aware of thing like that don't want to wake up one day not knowing what happened.
Definitely a sword enthusiast, but it hurt me to watch someone handle a sword so clumsily. You're better than a lot of people I know, but it...It was painful, bro. It hurt.
@UnwashedGoblin I couldn't take it with me. There is a long permit process. I had to get the permit process taken care of then have it shipped to me. took about six weeks.
@epicfantasy Oh yeah a similar thing happened to me, but I didn't bother to get it shipped to me I just left it as it was. And thank You for a quick reply Your videos are golden I wonder how can people actally do such a horrible act of well .. disliking Your video or even hatin' on them I guess jealousy
@epicfantasy btw since you have a cam would you mind making a video of your katana? it was absolutely beautiful and I would love to see details and close shots/focusing of the blade and edges, the dragon and specially the handle :D

gorgeous blade/scabbard.
but you should never fully draw the sword from its scabbard except for one of two reasons:
1) cleaning and maintenance.
2) to draw blood, your own, or that of an enemy.
If you draw the blade completely just to show it off, you are expected to inflict a shallow cut on your arm, and then clean the blade.

@LotusDragon09 Actually Clavell dd extensive research into the history and culture before writing.
And did you not read my first post entirely? to draw blood or to CLEAN...
regardless of how pretty it may be, it is still a deadly weapon, and that is all it is.
Taking it out to show off, is bad form, no matter how you slice it. (no pun intended)
after 'practicing' (who practices with live steel?) you would need to clean/oil it anyway.
You can display it without drawing it fully.

@pandamarihuana Thanks! That whole experience of traveling to Japan and allowing the sword to find me was really something special. I just went on a very interesting experience to Egypt. Should check out my vids if you haven't.

Hi, I don't mean to be rude, but how much did your sword cost to buy? I'm looking into buying one and was wondering what the prices are for genuine katana's
MrIGrowDank 1 year ago
@MrIGrowDank quite ok. The prices can vary quite a bit. I paid over 1,000 for this one. Typical prices can run 3k.

One very important point to recall when buying a sword is that no one should buy any sword anywhere. Your not buying a pair of jeans that any size fits anybody. The sword has to be measure at your body measures and also a spiritual ritual must be made. A cutting instrument like that could be possessed by evil. Be aware of thing like that don't want to wake up one day not knowing what happened.

Definitely a sword enthusiast, but it hurt me to watch someone handle a sword so clumsily. You're better than a lot of people I know, but it...It was painful, bro. It hurt.
