"My Grampa risked his life in WW II and brought this back. Can I take my family on a vacation instead of passing down and showing my kids and grandkids some tangible world history they can't learn from a book or a computer?"
@@scotthamp384 It's cool because it's the traditional way that the actual Samurai would have disassembled their swords. If you see enough episodes with Mike, he knows absolutely everything about how the blades are meant to be handled. He's my favorite expert on the show--even better than Rebecca and the coin guy.
"I'm looking for 8 thousand" Let Lemme give a buddy of mine a call, I'll tell him what you've just asked for, and he will surprisingly estimate anything up to that number. "Yeah I'm okay with that"
Of course that what they do! But if I had something that I think was worth of great value I would ask them to “bring in your expert” and let him make the appraisal first. Then I’d see if it would be around the amount I want.
Yoyo Neen he’s dumb... sell historical for a Disney land that’s nothing but full of lines. If he really wants to sell it that badly then he should have kept pushing for more money but no he gave up easily for 5k.
I think Mike is 1 of the more straight up experts on this show. I don't think I have seen him much on the UA-cam pawn stars scenes & it's probably because he's more honest than the others. Corey pulled another fast one with this holy trail item, and the guy should have got himself closer too 6000! I would have tried 2 deal with Mr. Kawasaki
Things don't always go well at auctions it could be valued really high but without the right buyer it's not gonna sell and it still costs U to put it in auction
When his kids are older: "Dad, where's that irreplaceable family heirloom samurai sword with the very rare secret coin slot?" Father: "I sold it to take you to Disneyland." Kids: "O.K. thanks for teaching us some values, Dad."
True True, that 5 grands seems not a big deal for him either as he’s spending it for a family pleasure, just a wicked excuse. So easy giveup that I hate
Even though it's priceless, I highly doubt people use it, it's probably just sitting in there house or offices, so why have something thats just sitting there when you can have some useful cash
Guy: This precious family heirloom has been in my family for generations, but I'll take 2 bucks Corey: I'll give you 50 cents and a pack of gum Guy: Deal.
Real name of this show: "What do you mean? Respect and appreciation? Money is what I need!" At least those who buy these treasures will really get to appreciate them. There is a good reason why some things are rare to find, after all.
I love it when the sell gets all excited to hear the retail price and then is offered much, much less but hey there at a pawn shop and the sellers don't have to accept the offers.
Well either he passed it down and just collected but now a days we need money to do stuff he doesn’t have you use for it other than sentimental and appreciate but he had to do what was best
As someone who enjoys history there is no way I would sell that unless I was desperate for money. And taking the family on a vacation would not be a good reason for me to do it.
The first sword I owned I had found at a garage sale for $15 and sold it to Mike Yamasaki for $1,750. Met him down at the Tampa show in 2013 but he didn't attend the 2017 show or the Atlanta show. Would really like to chat with him about swords some more.
Like it or not, taking artifacts and memorabilia from a defeated country/nation/empire etc, is a thing that has happened for ages. Complaining about it isn't going to change it.
Ian Berry doesn’t mean you can’t do the right thing and return it to the original owners. With your rational, murders happen all the time, who’s to stop it.
Grandfather: fights in ww2, brings artifact of great importance in human life, passes said artifact to grandson as he believe he will understand its value. Grandson: “ I wANt tO gO TO DiSNEYlAnd” Man your kids will be up next in the premium Snapchat craze.
Imagine owing a sword that’s been in your family for 500 years only for a US solder to take it and then their grandkids to sell it in a realty tv pawn show
Grandfather: passed down an object with real importance that if taken care of could become a piece of history. This guy: ya I sold it for 5k so I can wait in lines at Disneyland...
As much as it is important for him to keep it, i think it was best he sold it, which he did, so it can go to someone who will actually cared for it rather than it being stored up in his shack.
Bet he rethinks that deal after standing for six hours in line at Disneyland.
wes c LOL
Haha. Solid. True lol
You're not right with God😂😂😂
And still Max's all there credit cards out. What a waste.
wes c lmfao
I’d like to sell this piece of history my grandfather almost died getting to take my kids to Disney land
The feels
James Bailey he said it was collected after the battle
@@sooshi4560 He still easily could have died before the battle ended
But like, why did the Americans have to destroy all the Samurai swords after WWII, they destroyed/stole history
@@sooshi4560 aka stolen
Feel like he could have easily got more than 5 if he pushed for it
He said 5K was fair. Fair is fair.
I think he would’ve got 6,000 maybe more , from the 500$ drop but still another 1,000 still something , or just said lowest I can do 6500 or I’m taking home and he might just bought it lol
I was thinking at 6
John Rope pretty much this. Everything on camera has already been done and decided beforehand
He should sell it in Japan. It's worth more for the right buyer and at auction in Japan it will go through the roof.
i love the fineness and the precision and level of detail with the way the wood has been carved and the intricacy of the silk and the gold inlays
Mike Yamakasi is my second favorite after Rebecca Romney in terms of experts here.
He's better than Rebecca.
******IF I HAD TO CHOOSE WHICH ONE TO F*CK IT WOULD BE YAMAKASI. THAT VOICE IS JUST SPOT ON!******
Totally agree. He's a master at his craft. So knowledgeable. I love it
Billy Big Bollocks if only he actually spelt his last name right though? “Yamakasi” come on
I think hes better. He seems much wiser. I bet if she wasn't a girl, people would beg the difference.
Cmon man your grandfather passed it down to you why you gotta be like that
@IA - 09ZZ - Turner Fenton SS (2572) Yeah
He's a greedy hoar
It feels like its Scripted
Jxster I’m sure his grandfather wouldn’t have mind. He spent it not for himself but his family.
I know right
Let me call my buddy, he's an actual ninja.
Stacking Benjies ha ha good one
Stacking Benjies In fact he's standing right behind you
@@daninbox I'm afraid to look. I really hope you're joking.
My buddy lived in the early 1800's hes right across the street let me give him a call.

"My Grampa risked his life in WW II and brought this back. Can I take my family on a vacation instead of passing down and showing my kids and grandkids some tangible world history they can't learn from a book or a computer?"
Kids gonna break it and it becomes useless..
They can always show them this video
A little judgemental, don't you think
but.. you can get some pictures of anything within seconds on a computer.
maybe show your kids pieces of history that wasn't stolen from their mainland...
Am I the only person who enjoys the way he disassemble samurai swords? It's so cool
I like the way Mike takes the handles off

That sword is historical artifact and he sell to go disneyland.. OMG!!
Yoyo Neen he’s dumb... sell historical for a Disney land that’s nothing but full of lines. If he really wants to sell it that badly then he should have kept pushing for more money but no he gave up easily for 5k.
Corey: "I deal with Samurai swords all the time" "Why's it made out of wood"
He was joking.
The real samurai sword dealer was the expert
Three times he said it was not a sword, but a scabbard...
He's saying it's the first time he's seen a wooden one despite dealing in the market
It's a tsunagi, a wooden replica to hold the fitting together while the actual blade is stored in shirasaya.
Why would you never call Mike if a sword showed up in the shop. I learn so much from him. When is he getting his own show?
He had one last season but, it got CUT. Get it? Sword show...cut? Sorry.
@@OverlandOne it’s not like Hollywood tv, these guys are gonna get spin-off shows 🤣
Plot twist: Those imitation coins were even older than they thought and worth more than if that had indeed been gold.
Even reproduction but still could be 100+ yo coin.
I love how the sword expert knows where, and how hard, to smack the sword to make it come apart. He's my favorite next to REBECCA.
1:56 "Hey whats up CoOrrYy" lmao the voice crack
Made fool out of that guy, I cannot believe he agreed!!
Jayakrishnan Menon yeah plus it was from WWII from his grandfather he could’ve held that for 7 generations or less

How can you go to a place like that with a sword like that ? I would apraise the sword for auction and it would definitly go higher than 8000$ !!
@Chomag Yep I really don't think 90% of the people who comment have clue one about what a pawn shop is.
You're a sword and auction expert, I assume... Buy and sell and make a lot of money yourself, eh?
Things don't always go well at auctions it could be valued really high but without the right buyer it's not gonna sell and it still costs U to put it in auction
He wants to be waiting in line at Disney Land as fast as possible
scripted. the deal has already been made. they were just acting
I have 10 pounds of gold found on a pirate ship
Rick: best I can do is $100
And I'm taking a huge risk here
Well, it's just going to sit around the shop for months and take up space.
“50$ and a half eaten McGriddle is the best I can do, and I’m taking a huge risk”
Is this real pirate gold. Or just some painted coins you made in your garage.

Yeah. This stupid man doesn't worth the sword
“Let me call a buddy of mine, he trained in Japan’s finest dojo in the highest mountain. He’s an expert on samurai swords. Hang out for a few minutes”
Eh most Japanese dont like to lie so I prefer him over the other "experts"

michelle mendez I was looking for this comment
Same
Why is a voice crack made a big deal everywhere? I never understood.
Barka Dog you'll learn when you grow up
Always good to watch Mike hit the handle / blade separately away from each other.
This dude really about to sell an heirloom for one week of mimosas lol
$5,000 probably wont even cover the full expense of taking a family to disneyworld hahaha
Love how the assessor and the customer always seem to come up with the same value. 🤣
“the scabbard looks like wood maybe” lmao, I could have told you that
“Can you come up a little bit?” Corey- “Can you come down a little bit?” 😂😂👍🏻
My grandfather had one from WW2 and found a way to return it to the family in japan
I bet that's a nice surprise for the descendants of the fallen soldier.
Dam god bless ur grandfather
a lot of positive vibes in this vid. best show ever.
Real name of this show:
"What do you mean? Respect and appreciation? Money is what I need!"
At least those who buy these treasures will really get to appreciate them.
There is a good reason why some things are rare to find, after all.
Priceless...absolutely priceless. If i had the cash id buy it and try to find the original owners family.
Wish that was in my family & passed down to me. It would've never been for sale. Family heirlooms are NOT FOR SALE. That was a cool sword.
It only became HIS families heirloom in the late 40’s. It was another family’s for longer, and then was stolen.
I love it when the sell gets all excited to hear the retail price and then is offered much, much less but hey there at a pawn shop and the sellers don't have to accept the offers.
Guy: I have Mozart's skull
Rick: I'll give you 2 dollars for it

In order for it to become big you just have to say "bangkai.!" In a cool way.

- Do you know much about it at all?
- My grandpa gave it to me.
As someone who enjoys history there is no way I would sell that unless I was desperate for money. And taking the family on a vacation would not be a good reason for me to do it.
*Ah, Selling the family heirlooms I see.*
Not his family. The original Families heirloom .
Great expert. Excellent explanation.
Mr. Brown swung that sword famously

Went from Disney to six flags real quick
Never sell these family jewels. Historic and so valuable.
I don't know anything about the sward...... I want $8,000 for it.
Poor guy.. he just want money..
He said it's from his grandfather he knew it was old
great family man....salute u...have a nice vacation

4:19 the seller was about to walk away 🤣
Guy: I have this 10 grand greenback, you see how that worth?
Rick: Best I can do is 100
Never heard that joke before.....
Walk out the pawn shop with 5k, then walk into the casino. Boom! Vacation 😂
It’s so sad how these items have so much history, yet they are selling it to make a quick buck.
Learnt something new from this video, these "secret coin pockets" arnt ever talked about let alone heard of
Your grandfather risked life and limb. He brought back a bit of his life to pass down to his children etc.
You sold it for six months of savings.
Lmao 😂
Thats the beauty of capitalism. If u r not good enough to hold that asset, that money going to travel.
His grandfather stole it.. not just brought it back
You know during the interview the guy said Disneyland but they were like nah, man. Say “theme park in Florida” 😂
For real they be telling their appraisal buddies what the customer was asking for.
Cool! I hope that his family enjoyed the vacation.

It really bugs me that they keep calling , something that's barely a foot in length, a sword.
Well Japanese people are not that tall on average so you have to see everything in perspective.
It is still a sword, the Japanese have three basic lengths of sword. This sword is as you can guess a short sword
@@markkNL No
@@sullythepankake9663 I'm not suggesting that the nomenclature is incorrect, I'm just saying it bugs me personally.

Or 10
Oh the days before covid. Some good times
