The man knows a lot of these things. But please,… stop touching the blade with your bare hands! This steel is not stainless steel. The oils and the moister on your fingers can leave corosion and rust after on the metal. 😥
Swords with Showa or Seki stamps is not aloud to evaluate, only stamped swords can get evaluation is a Arsenal stamp ( Star ), this rule is around 15 years ago. Because they considered es a traditional made, other ones is considered non-traditional made.
Yes, I see your point but these guys felt they were honoring their ancestors by taking the family blade into battle. Asian culture is very big on honoring its ancestors.
Blades got destroyed at the end of ww2, the blade its self is the sword. Very fine examples got destroyed. I know a few Spirit's ment for being destroyed had been saved. If Officers where told the history of national treasures, they weren't destroyed.
Hello sir can you tell me which other sword used by japan in world war 2 samurai sword tell their names can you send me in writing your student thank you sir
@@SARDOG I guess what I meant was first know documented explanation or mention. Near the beginning of a certain time or mention is a dictionary definition, but I'm sure you knew that.
@@leebodean1493if you are talking the first Katanas they had to take special sand with high iron concentration. Melt it down and fold and beat the impurities out of the material countless times till you got a medium or high carbon steel that you could then turn into a sword. Japan apparently had very few dedicated iron deposits so they had to use a time intensive method to get the iron for the steel they needed.

Martin is simply a walking encyclopedia on Japanese edged weapons; comparable to Ian McCollum ("Gun Jesus").
Awesome booth! I always wonder how he got all that together
Спасибо за видео, Алексей! Выйдет ли обзор купленной вами коллекции японских мечей? Очень японская тема интересна)
This was very good information. I was lucky many years ago to acquire a quite good old Katana in decent military furniture. ⚔️
I jusst picked up one at an estate sale, rough furniture though.
Great video!!!
Danke, war sehr interessant
Love that Jinsen pole bayonet 👌🏻
If i was a japanese officer with a family sword handed down for 100s of yrs id be scared to loose it on the battle field

Was this in Allentown Pennsylvania? 😮
Теперь я знаю больше. Спасибо. Мартин явно в теме - Мастер.

На нашей недавней выставки был меч в очень плохом сохране но с клинком 14 века
Military Swords of Japan is going for $70+ USD now. Not cheap like they originally were. I paid $14.95USD for mine 20+ years ago.
Why are some old blades not marked?
