  • Adam shows off his replica of The Bride's sword from Kill Bill, a collaboration with a propmaker that was a journey in prop replica sleuthing and unearthing little noticed details of the original Hattori Hanzo hero sword. This piece is the jewel on top of Adam's sword rack he made earlier this year, and holds up as one of the most accurate replicas he has in his collection!

      Is it okay to say “some famous guy told me to do it?

    Kill Bill Trivia: At the beginning of the fight scene between O-Ren and The Bride, after O-Ren says, in Japanese, "I hope you saved your energy. If you haven't you may not last 5 minutes", it is exactly 4 minutes and 59 seconds from the time she steps forward and the music cues, until the fatal blow of the duel.

    The Man-at-Arms replica of this sword is exceptional. The details are pretty accurate for the movie sword but they actually made Tamahagane/bloom steel and then do a full traditional crafting process on it including engraving, which is a joy to watch. I assume Adam has already watched that video, but I still recommend it to anyone who hasn't.

  • @darklordofsword
    @darklordofsword 4 года назад +129

    Iaido (ee-ai, btw), is the art of drawing and striking with the katana _in the same motion_. The act of drawing is itself a cut, the idea being that you can strike down an opponent as you draw, and be ready to face the next one.
    Terminology;
    Tsuba; the guard
    Fuchi; the reinforcing band around the top of the grip
    Kashira; pommel cap, covers and protect the end of the tsuka core.
    Saya; scabbard
    Habaki; blade collar, helps hold the Tsuba in place and keep the sword in the saya, traditionally copper, sometimes silver or brass.
    Koiguchi; reinforcement around the mouth of the saya. Often just a ring of horn flush with the rest of the saya, not an external part.
    Kojiri; decorative/protective tip piece for the saya. Not always present.
    Seppa; spacers, typically brass or copper, used to adjust the tightness of the hilt in case of shrinkage.

      Hey there Adam I actually have a replica of the sword as well, not as perfect or high quality but I believe it has a lot of the stuff but instead of the skin handle it seems to be plastic, it has the marking on the handle, and it has ropes for the covering. It has a black rope on the sheath which may have the special symbol and it even has the carving on the blade. Now mine is very old and some parts are a bit faded in bad condition but it’s because it was in a pawn shop. Didn’t even know what it was till I saw a vid of yours referencing it a few years back. I can show it on twitter or something

    A small thing that many might not notice - but as someone who has chickens - I spotted the chicken in the first blade photo from Jason (2:27) 😃

      You are correct, sir:) About 2 years after that, I discovered that chickens are a lot of work, and gave it up:)

      @@jblakey they are indeed a lot of work, but we like the eggs. We have 27 chickens at this time. Great work on the sword, it looks amazing.

    Cool! Last year I bought an authentic (antique) Japanese katana from the Early Edo Period; costing just over $9000 (shipped from Japan). These swords are a work of art. They're absolutely beautiful!

    This is like for me what prop making is about, finding the jigsaw components and then having the skill to put it together. Blade assembly really isn't too hard as long as things fit relatively well but what an awesome piece I want one so bad but UK laws make it very hard

      for samurai swords uk law makes collecting authentic swords easy. broken down its this....a samurai or ninja sword is restricted if it has a straight blade to either fake non cutting or made by traditional forging. a samurai sword with a traditional curved blade is restricted to a blade length of 28 inches unless it has been forged by traditional japanese methods in which case there are no restrictions. all blades are 18yrs age limit and brandishing or open carry in public is illegal. if you are 18 and want aninja sword or samurai trio set is non cutting too brittle to use stainless steel there is no restriction, if you want any cutting sharp sword, those in softish 1045, usable 1060, live 1095 , damascus,or folded steel with sharp edges , they are all made in various traditional japanese methods( even those from china forges) and are not restricted except blade must be certified andover 4 inch blade and under 56inches blade tip to start of handle , again public open carry is illegal.

    So glad you made this video! I’ve been so curious about where the sword props for Kill Bill came from. They stood out to me because they had a lot of specific detail and attentively payed to them that isn’t usually given in Hollywood movies with katanas, but I couldn’t find any info about if any of the props still existed or where they came from. Cool to hear that an iaido company produced them. (It’s pronounced ee ai doh by the way, like sea, cry, dough)

    Just been getting into katanas myself lately and if you can find the correct kojiri (scabbard endcap), you can have a saya (scabbard) made that actually fits the kojiri, and that blade & habaki (blade spacer?). The sword should be retained in the saya by a slight interference fit with the habaki to prevent it from falling out during vigorous movement.
