This guy has more knowledge concerning Japanese blades than any English speaker I've ever seen, and most Japanese people.

My great grandfather brought one back off of a soldier as well as a geisha style comb and hair pin with mother of pearl and gold in its original case he found in the jacket of the soldier. As sad as that is, my grandma treasured it and passed it on to me as a graduation gift. Kept safe and sound and respected with me. I just showed my 7 year old ❤

The Japanese sword expert is absolutely right regarding how display swords or any piece of militaria. Never leave them exposed to sunlight, even reflected sunlight. However. UV glass does protect the items somewhat, but over time it will take a toll on the items in fading or deterioration. The display should be in a somewhat darkish room or under artificial light. Use LEDs in the cases as the heat with normal bulbs will damage many artifacts.

there is a polishing cloth and also a paste that does wonders with just a rag, its called metal glow been using it on modern Japanese made swords don't have 1 complain

Very interesting! My father was in the Coast Guard in WW 2 and then stationed in Japan. It was there that he got an Arisaka and a sword. Knew someone who was involved in the disposal of Japanese militaria--guess you could call it the black market.

You didn't properly introduce Bill and his background, perhaps any expertise he has on Japanese militaria.

Nice stuff. Btw the bo-hi or fullers on the blade dont just make it lighter they help one hear if their cuts are good during training. They make the sword whistle when you swing it correctly.

I don't think Bill will be happy when he sees those excellent blades, especially the polished ones, placed on a rock for the photo shoot. 😥
