KATANA TOGISHI - Japanese Traditional Sword Sharpner part 1

powinni wysłać wielki bukiet kwiatów, kosz pralinek i kilka Japonek z seksownymi stopami do Hollywood z dołączoną wizytówką o treści: "For Quentin's Tarantino eyes only" ;)
Po wyjściu z kina każdy chciał miec miecz Hattoriego Hanzo

Masahiro are not the best katana available, but if you're willing ot put some time into it and especially for the price you are paying, Masahiro blades put Paul Chen and Cheness blades to shame.
I own a cheness, and a Hanwei Paul Chen Green Bamboo and a Masahiro Bushido Fuji, the Masahiro is by far the better balanced and better cutter (after several weeks of polishing) than the latter, nevermind my favorite.

i too have a Masahiro, i bought it for 150 bucks

i been looking for a polisher to remove the scratches but their charging more than 3 times whats worth

do you know where i can find one?

man the narrator is annoying

It's a narrator for a children's show..

Despite the narrator, wonderful vid.
I don't understand the ripping on modern nontraditionaly made swords. If want a strong, sharp, well balanced Japanese style sword, it shouldn't matter if it is a traditionaly made Japanese super expensive work of art or made with the help of modern machines in another country. Technicaly by tradition, most Japanese by their "class" shouldn't own or use one let alone a gaijin.

with the comment that an Authentic Japanese Made Katana can be made with modern machines in other countries, just proves you are a gaijin. ALL, I say again, ALL Japanese swordsmiths who mean something, use tamahagame, which is an iron ore sand that only comes from one riverbed, northwest of tokyo, and they only smelt a 2 ton block every year only once and ONLY the elite Japanese Swordsmiths are permitted by the government to even aqcuire, so get your facts straight, and authentic

You don't see a lot of really good company made katana out there because they are still very expensive. The good ones I am talking about still have a great deal of hands on forging, but they use modern tech as well that replicated the practicality and use of a true Japanese katana. They still can't compete with the geniusness of the craftsmenship of the tradional, but to think their sand ore is magic is silly. The Japanese had shitty quality ore, and the magic was/is turning that ore to a sword.

yes because it would be so much better to die a slow painful death from bleedout or infection than a clean shot to the head for an instant painless death.

i'd have to agree with you here! are there actually trolls on this video??? wow! what a lack of respect! i've always stated i'd rather be shot than stabbed or cut. getting shot happens fast, yeah im very sure its painful... but just the fact that it happes quick and then you're left with the wound, you can just focus on the pain. with a knife or sword, you see it coming, you'd feel it enter your body and feel it cut through your organs, the warm blood spilling out over your cold flesh! yikes
