First, don’t trust the Samurai Monkey. He mixes and matches blades and fittings and even tempers with them to pass them up for what they aren’t. The guy is a scammer and a real threat to collectors.
Second, Amahide is an excelllent WW2 swordsmith and a renowned one. You have an excellent traditiosword here.
Third, never use uchiko on swords unless they are in a bad shape. It scratches the blade. Today, we use isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth to clean them. More efficient and harmless to the blade.
finally, shameless plug. If you want to know more about WW2 shin gunto, take a look at the Nihonto message board. There are a few Amahide swords thread up here.
Samurai monkey is a crook!!!!.
Sorry but I don't agree with this opinion of not using uchiko on blades. I know this has been debated on the forums, but this wad started off by one person and became a trend. All japanese sword owners in japan use uchiko and have been doing so for centuries. I contacted Paul martin about this and he also said it was a farce that uchiko is not used.
@@prabshiro well, when Tsuruta San even discards it’s ise, I tend to follow his guidance. Now, the thing is I wouldn’t use uchiko on a pristine blade. However, I certainly wouldn’t mind using it on a sword which isn’t in fresh polish. Actually, a respected, late fellow collector used to say about these blades, "uchiko the hell out of it".
@@jp16k92 it's each to their own, which is completely acceptable. But I was abit taken back when several members began saying not to do so. Maybe it's trial and error. But one thing I would ask. What's the benefit of using alcohol propyl
@@prabshiro well isopropyl alcohol is perfect to remove the old oil and is so volatile that it dries almost immediately. An in polish blade doesn’t need to be wiped harshly. Uchiko being ground stone (actually it is the ground residue of the stones used by polishers) can create micro scratches on the surface of the blade. I’m sure the best quality is harmless (I’m told that the ones that come in white balls are better quality than the red ones), but let’s face it, unless you live in Japan, this is not the best one we get. On the other hand, on a dull blade, uchiko practiced regularly can clear up details that would otherwise be invisible. I think that the modern use of alcohol was adopted because with better sources of lighting than in the past, real specialists realized that indeed, they could see some damages. Now, when you think about the price of a polishing job to erase that, the fact that a polishing job removes a layer of metal and that we’re just the temporary custodians of items that must pass on to others after us, I prefer using alcohol. Still, I’ll admit that I’ve used uchiko for twenty years before I took on the new method. However, none of my blades would qualify as a national treasure. :)
You have a beautiful table
That’ table is a weapon of mass destruction
We have one and it is special to me the first time I held it I could not let it go and go out of sight
Nice video! Very nice to sit down and watch. Rather than to worry about making the video :)

The Samurai Monkey 42 yes, its not easy to create videos and edit it after. Also for me very difficult to speak english because its not my 1st language. I try do my best and learn. Its fun 😄👍 i have enough stuff for future videos for sure
Thanks for your comment!
Your friend all the way from belgium 😉
amazing the type 98 sword iam so very like it the blade it so very sharp
That is exactly the same sword I have, however your Habiki looks to be made of Brass and mine is copper with the Cat Scratches.
My makers signature mark is from a Sword makers foundry and it's over 400 years old. In one of the pictures you show in your book there are a number of sword smiths there and so there is someone there who is assigned to carve the sword makers name. In essence it's a production shop, just like in Feudal Japan. Mine isn't a family sword but it was most likely an early Feudal era sword given "modern" fittings and issued out during the Sino China occupation and possibly either made it's way into the Pacific or possibly stayed back in Japan and was surrendered during the American occupation. There were thousands of what I would call generic swords for foot soldiers made during the Feudal era of Japan and those swords were stored in Armory's and were issued out to peasants to equip an Army to fight for a local lord.
So although the sword may not have a famous Sword Makers mark or a family name carved into the blade tang doesn't make the sword any less inferior in terms of quality than a family sword.
Just imagine a Foundry that was commissioned to make swords and in battle found out that all their swords broke on impact, don't think it would end well for the Foundry's sword smiths.
Good information👍
I appreciate your video very much. Keep up the good work
Most ww2 era Japanese military swords had their tang shortened which throws of the balance and performance of the weapon. From a swordsman stand point they aren't as effective in the cut as it would have been if it wasn't altered to fit the military handle and hardware
Where did you read that?Some older blades which had already had their tangs shortened were fitted into military mounts but hilts were made to fit tangs on an individual basis,there was no standard configuration for the tang of a sword,your comment is utterly ridiculous and ignorant.
I wish I could identify more about mine, but that book is over 300 bucks 😅
I have the same sword as well, but it’s definitely not as well kept as yours 😅
Amazing!!!
My great grandfather took one of these from an officer in the war but it was stolen before it wa a passed down
cool vid. i'm having difficulty in identifying the one I'm researching and I can't justify buying the book(although I wouldn't mind having it!). I've also asked samurai monkey if he could assist too.
Excelentes las espadas, son fascinantes para mi, ya que tengo tambien una, y tiene un logotipo en la base, ya que no tiene funda
muy bien tu video
Y quien te a dicho que ellas tienen funda
That Sword is in excellent shape, enough to make many men jealous. I have one that is almost as nice but the tassel is very worn and in bad shape. Also is missing the bamboo peg and end of scabbard (metal tip) but the blade is great no rust or nicks. I didn't.t recognize the signature stamps either, from what I have. How many manufacturers were there at the time?
Too many to name. You can find books om ww2 japanese swordsmiths out there. Search on ebay or amazon
I have a similar sword I bought 10 years ago at a flea market ,and I only paid 50 dollars for it and it is in mint condition, the guy I bought it from said it was very old
Search up who made it? :-)
GuntonWW2 original have a flag sign on blade .
Flag sign on blade ? 😂
My great grandpa stole one of these during ww2 when he escaped from a camp after his plane went down
amazing
i have the same sword wow its not in that good shape but its like its twin
No one will know you are struggling if you don’t tell them,,,, BECAUSE WE CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING!!!!!!
Facts 😂😂😂, like what are you explaining my brother? Camera angle is all off, can’t see a thing
With such a sword with no markings on tang but numbers in obscure places, what does it mean?
Its possible its late war production, could be assembly marks. Need to see it first to be sure tbh
I have the same sword but I’m missing the handle 😢
You can find replacements online😯
I just bought one, thanks! Where can you buy dowels (bone or wood) to hold her together?
Made one out of a dowel rod from the hardware store
Use a chopstick, bamboo......
Jimmy O Right. Use bamboo, as were the originals.
茎が長いねぇ
焼きが高いのは気になるけど銘切りもされてるしいい刀なんだろうね
and the other end of the Tang has a flower?
I have ww2 japanese samurai
I have one too
Does this trace back to samurai or other older sword styles or did they come up with their own thing for modern military?
What is a reasonable price for one of those now?
Depending from your location. In europe harder to find and the price is way up. In the US they go for 800-1800$ depending condition. Only for machine made blades. Nihonto blades for much more
I have the same sword but mine has a turtle looking stamp on the Tang what does that mean
I think its a showa stamp wich means its produced in ww2 and is not traditional made but machien made
@@militariacollectablesbelgium thank you how much wood one go for now days
@@tristanbailey5464 depending where you buy and live. In usa they are more common to find. In europe its harder to find them. From 1000€ to 2500€ depending on condition
Whee can I get that book
Amazon
you Shouldn't use uchiko powder on the blade it Scratches the blade over time and makes the swords dull just use a micro fiber cloth insted trust me i ruined a sword by doing it
Micah 2.0 0000 i only use it to remove old oil sometimes. Its once a year i think, maybe twice. There is no problem because i use u traditional method (not shown in the video)
I believe these WW2 swords were machine made and not hand made, if I am wrong let me know...
You are right. A very few were made of folded steel, not many. Those good folded steel ones are valuable, but generally not as much as the pre-war blades. The machine made blades are considered weapons in Japan and are illegal to possess. They cannot be sent to smiths in Japan for refinishing. The folded steel blades are considered works of art, and can be possessed with little problem.
Is there a benefit or just lore benefit?
@@normanbraslow7902 is it better to go to Japan and get one made yourself than to buy a WW2 antique that id see on eBay which could be fake or machine made anyway?
@@war.neverchanges WW2 machine manufactured Japanese Officer and Non Commissioned Officer Samurai Swords if found are Confiscated in Japan and Destroyed, they are considered Weapons, Samurai Swords made centuries before WW2 were hand made and are considered Works of Art in Japan from what I understand, anywhere else in the World WW2 manufactured Japanese Officers Samurai Swords in Good or better condition are Worth a Small Fortune and only increase in value each year.
@@WAFFENAMT1 thank you. I realized that, I looked up their weapon laws n saw that machine made ones are illegal but handmade are seen as art not weapons.
What is the name of the book?
Ronin 1818.
Steel?
Balls of steel, yes.
Anything about your sword the rapping looks like it's almost new and the sharkskin looks like it's reproduction the scabbard looks like it's almost a fresh paint job maybe it's me but the scabbard looks almost newish and the wrapping looks brand new it doesn't look the age over 70 years old
I don’t know what video you were watching because that saya looks no where near like an almost fresh paint job. The ito is faded in multiple different places and even the samegawa has some discoloration to it. Idk, maybe I was looking a bit harder than you were
How much is it worth?
I dont know. But above 1k
@@militariacollectablesbelgium wow nice! I have the same one. :)
@@militariacollectablesbelgium so would $2k be over charging or fair because it’s hand made?
@@war.neverchanges depending on the condition, blade, smith, documentation,… look up the prices on google or ebay sold listings
@@militariacollectablesbelgium yea I looked at eBay
I have one for sale
By chance do you know what the turtle on the Tang mean?
I had one, I want go sell cheap, who interest tell me
Sounds dodgy
@@beatmachine6189 what country u in?
@@beatmachine6189 Sold! Please send me the $75 and i will send you a sword
My grand grand father have that ww2 sword on my grand father house
lol then wouldn’t he be kicked out the military u can’t take weapons from the enemy lol
@@mingchenwei1978 Sorry, I don't understand about military rules in WW2. So you can't take any kind of weapons from enemies ? For example like pistols. What's the reason for that ? Is there something else that the soldiers can't take ?
Sorry for my bad English, btw..
@@mingchenwei1978 Thats how it is now, back then there were a lot of gi bring backs… Especially swords and pistols…
@@ItchyPilauBoto didn’t some people take Afghan loot? They have pictures of soldiers posing with their gold AKS and chairs
@@war.neverchanges Yeah but theyre in their military uniforms still and that was in Iraq when America hunted Saddam Hussein. There are soldiers pictured sitting on golden thrones in his palace and all that, i know what pictures you’re referring to. But soldiers wouldnt be able to take those golden AKs home unless they smuggle it.. Its a safety hazard just as much as it was back then, letting a bunch of soldiers go home with guns and full automatic firearms… That would be breaking a lot of American firearm laws and military regulations now.. They could easily take other items for sure. If the military allowed it now i figure youd see a lot RPGs back home..
You sure it's not a part sword made up of parts
Work on your video skills bro.
