I saw him for the first time like 2 days ago when he was called in and he looked like the real deal as soon as he stepped in and on this episode i saw him bow to the sword... this guy knows his stuff
I can feel that this guy works for his culture. He wants to restore and appraise those lost treasure of his country and to be handled it with respect and integrity. Really like this guy and rebecca the most.
And after he gives it back, the fat moron behind the counter immediately unsheaths the sword without pointing the edge straight upwards and sliding the blade out on its back, instantly scratching the thing. What a flock of ignorants.
I can always see the genuine nature of Mike, that it saddens him a little for his history to end up in a pawn shop- but overall his honor and respect stands tall for his ancestors. I salute Mike
Maybe not. The samurai might be honored that people from the country that completely dominated them in battle and then rebuilt their country as partners, have such strong interest in their culture.
Nah it was a fair deal; before restoration, which cost over $3k, it was worth about $5k, and he got paid $1500. He got paid almost a third of the value of the thing, that is fair. He could have googled Japanese Arms Specialists in the area and got an expert estimation and probably had it restored himself for the full value (if he was in a position to pay for restoration), but he wanted the convenience of walking into to a generalist and walking out with some money half an hour later, so that is what happens.
It's not that simple getting it appraised. Pawn stars had the best connections to appraisers. It can be extremely hard finding a legit appraiser. I should know, i lived in vegas where pawn stars is
The lawyer probably got it as collateral or a payment from someone. He said he almost jumped up and down for the 500 offer. So the payment was probably less than that.
@@thepopgroup3366 no. bushido is a concept that was introduced after the the meji restauration where the samurai already have "died out". its a concept that introduced the way of living honourably to the broad public, but it was changed so much that it had nothing to do how samurai behaved
You have to understand that a majority of this show is staged and they make-up plotlines and 'drama' even though it's all scripted. At this point of the show they were all millionaires and didn't even work in the shop outside of shooting the show. They wouldn't have cared whether the sword was legit or not, a 1500 dollar loss would be nothing to them.
@@billzjr222 Yeah, if I was the blacksmith I’d be proud! If my blade could survive like 150 wars, 400 years, and a boat from Japan to America then I’d be honored!
"I'm trusting you, so I'm you going to hand it back to you respectfully" appraiser hands back with both hands... 5 minutes later... Cory hands it back over with one hand not even looking at the guy 😂😂 the family's manners are astonishing 🤣
@@sahilagarwal6601 Respect? Lol The sword did not have the sheath on it and he handed it with two hands yeah here let me just hand back the sword while holding the blades do you realize how dumb you sound lol
Who knew it was real? He didn’t have an authenticity certificate and their expert was out of state. If the man truly knew about the price why did he take a such a low ball offer? Just take it to another pawn shop. They didn’t take his money.
This sword is actually worth EVEN MORE now lol, I was gonna go and buy it IMMEDIATELY, due to what the actual value is for a Tokugawa crested sword. The sword nowadays is estimated to be even more rare than what was stated in this episode. It's valued nearly at 26,000$ right now
The price is higher due to that Tokugawa crest. Gotta remember Tokugawa rule Japan for 250 years until the early 1900s that's when Japan was trying to be modernized and such.
Mike is the best expert on this show(besides Rebecca of course), he loves his job and is respectful to everyone and especially to the swords. The guys could really learn a thing or two from him.
I Love how the appraiser handeled the sword, so much care and respect to craftmanship, meaning and History. My Heart would break giving it back to a pawn Shop, swords like this are treasures way beyond money, it has a spiritual meaning, too. I hope it will go to a person who will treat it with the respect and dignity it deserves.
I gotta admit I always liked how Corey has Chumlees back, Like that's my best friend he's always gonna have a job and be taken care of as long as I'm alive type relationship, I know he loses some weight and opens a candy shop but Corey always had his back and made sure he brought him with thru all his successes in life. THAT'S A TRUE FRIEND RIGHT THERE.🙌🏽✌🏼👍🏽👍🏽💯😄
Mike showed great respect for the sword with even nodding/bowing at the end after putting the sword back into the saya. That says a lot right there that the sword is legit.
I have to say that the dude that sold it was spot on with what he was originally asking. He should have walked out. That's not the type of item I would sell at a pawn shop.
Looks like they put a new guard on it, but if that old guard was as ancient as the sword, I'd think taking it away would lessen value. It had an interesting regal look to it that's now missing from the restored sword.
The whole "restoration" looked pretty shady to me, the scabbard is a different, lacquered one, the old blade didn't have that cut at the tip, the hamon also looks like something modern
@@Shcreamingreen I could see polishing the blade, and maybe the metal was deteriorating, needing replacement, maybe not. I'd NOT do a modern re/re; you can buy modern blades like this.
Age of Samurai Battle of Japan on Netflix is all about the Tokugawa clan so it was really cool when he took off the handle and I recognized the clan symbol!
2:47- I'm going to use that line next time I buy a car. "Problem is, I don't know enough about Lamborghini's to pay you that much. I'll give you a nickel."
I don't think the Sword he returned is the same one they gave him. The Scabbard and Tsuba are completely different, but starting @9:17 he says he sent it to a friend who is a polisher, and then had the handle re-wrapped, and then says that it is now is 100% percent restored condition. How can it be 100% restored when you have an entirely new Tsuba and Scabbard. There are 3 things that could be happening here, the first could be They needed to film the rest of the episode and the sword wasn't ready yet, so they filmed the conclusion with a "dummy" sword. The Second is that Mike realized that this sword is Culturally tied to Japan's history, and returned it to some kind of Japanese Ministry of Antiquities, or He decided he wanted it and flat out just stole it and gave them back a different sword of similar value.
hmm the reason they keep them in that sleeve thing isnt only because they stain when touched, it is so when your mate shakes your hand and the sword accidently touches him when its not in use by your waste, it doesnt chop his legs off.
I used to know a guy in America, a lawyer, who had bought a samurai sword from an elderly couple in Tokyo when he was in the military back in the 1950s. Back in the 1990s, he decided to see if it was worth it to send it back. Turned out it was over 400 years old, and had belonged to a lord. They couldn't find the original owners, so the lawyer donated it to the museum at the castle where the lord had ruled.
8:03 It's funny how Corey slaps chums shoulder when he hears the sword will be worth 15K after being fully restored, as if you say "I scored big Chum! I made a good call!" 😂
It looks like the only thing kept was the blade, everything else seems to have been replaced. He said the handle was re-wrapped, so maybe the blade and the wood of the handle are the only 2 original parts. Have to remember a pawn shop is not a museum, but it breaks my heart to see something historical like that updated to look like it was made yesterday just so someone can make the most money from it.
@@MartysRandomStuff yeah looks like the sheath is also a brand new shiny one, I get the feeling they are trying to add some ninja vibe to the sword, but I like you said the pawn shop guys are trying to run a business and I guess they will know what will fetch the highest price, definitely sad to see an old sword getting butchered like that. Hopefully Mike has kept those old parts rather than just throwing them in the trash.........
Dude was a lawyer he doesn't need that money no matter what price he wanted get rid of it before his wife killed him he even said he was happy at $800😂😂

Mike is the only non Japanese to win Japan's sword evaluating competition. Although Mike is Japanese by ancestry he grew up in Los Angeles.
And Rebecca...
The way he treats each item especially this object just makes me cry cause it's really an honor to identify something as rare as that.

Respect and honor
One of the best negotiation techniques I've ever seen on this show: "I've got five of 'em right there."
The reaction of the seller after he said that was hilarious😂
"Yeah, but you don't have this one."
Yeah he should be saying "but you dont have this one"
Ahh the whole trusty…. tell em the truth 🤣
I’m not sure how good those others were but I have a feeling it was insulting to this sword to compare it to them.
I love the way how the appraiser bows to the sword after assembling it...it shows that he is genuine and respects the craftsman and his ancestors ❤️❤️
and he put the sword edge toward himself while handling to the shopper is a way to respect the client
Mike:"It's worth 15k"
Corey:"I told you it was worth a lot"
Rick:"Shut up"
Seller:"Am I a joke to you?"

Thats the whole point of pawn shops. The lawyer was happy at 800 initially but played it cool. They both won
If you are an educated man such a lawyer and just sell off a Japanese sword without having it appraised you deserve what you get.

8:58 looks like Mike changed the guard on the sword, the old one 1:38 has much more intricate details on it, but maybe it was not salvageable?
It looks like the only thing kept was the blade, everything else seems to have been replaced. He said the handle was re-wrapped, so maybe the blade and the wood of the handle are the only 2 original parts.
Have to remember a pawn shop is not a museum, but it breaks my heart to see something historical like that updated to look like it was made yesterday just so someone can make the most money from it.
@@MartysRandomStuff yeah looks like the sheath is also a brand new shiny one, I get the feeling they are trying to add some ninja vibe to the sword, but I like you said the pawn shop guys are trying to run a business and I guess they will know what will fetch the highest price, definitely sad to see an old sword getting butchered like that.
Hopefully Mike has kept those old parts rather than just throwing them in the trash.........
Chum: “lemme check it out”
Rick: “No”
Old Man: “No”
Corey:😒
Corey:😑
men wtf? the guy who sell to this man only got 1500$ ? really.... at least pay that poor guy back .. man i really hate it
sorry but that’s not how it works..
yeah no that's not how it works, he agreed to the deal also
Dude was a lawyer he doesn't need that money no matter what price he wanted get rid of it before his wife killed him he even said he was happy at $800😂😂
Sooo, wait...my man with the samurai sword couldn’t come back, once Cory’s expert came back? 🤨🤷♂️
He wanted to get rid of it before his wife killed him with it lmao he probably did something that day that would get his wife angry 😂😂
Should have turned around a walked out as soon as he heard "ninja sword."
Chum probably sneaking like ninja after that night to try some ninja apple slice with that sword. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm going to start saying "I gotta make money too" any chance I get. No matter the context.
