I have always felt like Japanese swords are the sexiest of any blades.

[@bigflubby]

Great video Alex, like to see some more on ww2 Japanese sword collections if you could..

[@militariacollectablesbelgium]

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. 😥

@@kevinmorrice Now, everyone who complains about the swords and insists that they must be sent back to Japan, and so on. Remember that the Japanese killed approximately 20 million people between 1895 and 1945 and committed unspeakable atrocities against civilians and POWs during World War II. These swords were used in several war crimes. Never forget.

@@kevinmorrice essay about nothing in particular? Yes, sir, you really need to examine yourself to make sure you're not a psychopath if 20 million lives don't matter to you.

[@sibfox]

@@kevinmorrice So, is it considered theft to take a mass killer's weapon to put an end to his killing spree? Got you.

[@ilia4803]

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.

*WarStory Military Antiques* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

[@rawhide154]

This was very good information. I was lucky many years ago to acquire a quite good old Katana in decent military furniture. ⚔️

[@davidsalvador8989]

I jusst picked up one at an estate sale, rough furniture though.

[@aaronsauer6628]

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

[@frenchfan3368]

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.

Martin is simply a walking encyclopedia on Japanese edged weapons; comparable to Ian McCollum ("Gun Jesus").

[@watchesandcoins.7738]

Awesome interview.

[@naomiplazeiano3735]

this guy needs to attend a tutorial himself.

[@maakjar]

Awesome booth! I always wonder how he got all that together

[@cavalryscout]

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.

[@leebodean1493]

Where did early japanese sword makers get their steel?

[@SARDOG]

Define "early"... seriously

[@leebodean1493]

@@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.

[@ICECAPPEDSKY]

@@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.

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.
