  • what about a military Katana? where the pins are a screw with a cap to them

  • @VANDD4621 I dont know I've never owned one. But I would assume once the pin is out it's the same process.

  • you should send this video to swordsofmight.they use a hammer and beat it apart

  • @trialsrider001 well sometimes that is necessary. often times in low end production katana the tsuka are not made to fit, they are made to an approximate size then hammered on. But I'm sure they've seen my video.

  • got the mekugi out. but the sword wont disassemble from there ? the hitting on the hans thing, did´nt help.. ?

  • @gnulen some cheaper production katana are glued together, like the older Hanwei Practical Katana

  • @gnulen keep watching he says how

  • I can’t find anything on this but i ended up damaging my kashira and I was wondering how to take it off and replace it(was plastic now replacing with metal yes it is authentic except the one part oddly enough)

  • Hi, I would like to know if you know what kind of katana I have. It kind of looks like your first one? The dragon on the hilt is in the same spot, but the hilt is kind of square, and the sheath has I believe two japanese markings on one side. It's not the one you have, because mine has a couple hole shaped in its hilt. Please, if you know tell me.

  • what is that hammer you have called??

  • @TheZombieDecimator Make sure you hit it from the side where it's smallest.

  • please help me what side do i hammer the mekugi out? and how do you get the mekugi out in like five little hits? I have hit the mekugi like 50 times!

  • @icyberia So how do you disassemble it if it is glued together?

  • I used the swordsofmight video and now my brass hammer is stuck in the pin and still on the handle :( HELPPPPP!!! :(

  • @icyberia Well then how do you take apart the practical one?
