    While in Japan (former marine) a friend invited us to his grandfathers home. There his grandfather had his samurai grandfathers sword. Not sure how many generations it had been passed down but a lot. Anyway his grandfather asked if we would like to see as hold the sword. We sat on our feet/ on our knees and they preyed and preyed for me and then after 5-8 minutes his grandfather picked up the sword said something and waited. Then he handed the sword to my friend and then to me. It was amazing. Not only is it a work of art it’s living proof of the soul or a samurai. It’s amazing. I don’t know how to explain it.

    I personally own two old katanas, one from 17th century, one from late 18th/early 19th (they were examined and dated by anthropologist specializing in Japanese antiquity at the University of Nevada Reno). I'm extremely privileged to have acquired these, and they're more amazing in person than any video could ever do justice, all katana are. The craftsmanship and history of these blades is so fascinating (I mean Japanese swords in general, not just mine specifically)

    温度計もない時代に鉄の色を見て温度が分かる職人、鉄の融点は1500℃は現代科学の温度計で測ったもの。昔、TV番組で日本刀を固定しておいて拳銃で撃った見事に弾丸が真二つになった。その番組では頭に来たのかマグナム銃を取り出してきた。さすがにマグナムの銃数発で刀は欠けてしまった。個人的に日本製の鋼の牛刀を40年使っているが、研いで使ってきたので当初より短くなってしまったが、未だに切れ味は最高で最近購入した物よりも重さも刃の厚みもしっかりしている。昔の物は丁寧に作られている。
