[chaseparker9]

what is the estimated price of the finished sword?

[TheJapaneseSword]

@chaseparker9 Katana or tachi by Master craftsman Ono Yoshimitsu cost between $35, 000 (standard katana) to $50,000 USD (yamatorige utsushimono).

[SirSierraLeone]

what does yosimitsu mean ?

[TheJapaneseSword]

Ono Yoshimitsu is the name of the swordsmith in the segment. He is a very famous swordsmith in Japan, and is recognized by the Japanese government as a master-craftsman.

The beauty of the finished product is enough to drive you to tears.

Every aspecy of making the sword is in itself, art.

Breathtaking.

[tacityrn]

a minute to learn and a lifetime to master :)

@666asiamalaysia999 indeed, alchemy, some said its another form of "magic". This Katana is far beyond than just a myth, its like art. value of thousand years of perfection.

[666asiamalaysia999]

It is so beautiful! It is hard to believe it began as sand.

Like an act of alchemy, only replace the magic with countless years of experience along with skill, patience, and precision.

@MrMaxstil yup! the authenthic one's ranges from the lowest 5,000 to 50,000 dollars!!!

@SittingMooseShaman Please explain your story. Is this a true tail or one of your fantasies, sir?

[SeanShannohan]

@bowelrock I was supprised that they would even feature the Katana! I don't think that they should have featured it. The katana is indeed the ipidmy of slashing. It isn't possible to create somthing better.

[bowelrock]

the narrator of this show was a disrespectful prick. The full episode he was very pompuss thinking he could build a better sword than a man who has spent his life perfecting the art.

[OMFGHUGEWOLF]

The craftmanship and care really is something of its own. Although many cultures eventualy caught up to the japanese with their technology in smithing and steals, there is still something unique about the japanese and the intrigate details that go into each indervidual part.

[dragondevel5]

I dare say that it's my life's dream to make these.

[SittingMooseShaman]

... I would dare say I sense- In times ago. That one or two, of these sacred blades, had through many hands, made the perilous journey up & down through a most distant spice-route; On, quietly secreted- into the west...

Then found, hopefully, the hand & sash of a worthy swordsman & buyer. Who, I'm sure would have perplexed, ev'n awencast- anyone foolhardy enough to have challenged this nobleman of old. And so somewhere now in Europe, Asia or a Bedouin chiefs' tent- A most prized weapon awaits...
