7:25 When the antique dealer answered "Masamune" chills ran down my spine. It's so beautiful and majestic.

I can't believe he was allowed to speak so much & so closely to that blade. He should've worn a mask. You can see how nervous the dealer is while letting you hold it. It will certainly need a cleaning after this. 😅

Right!? Watch comes off and no speaking! Where’s the blade etiquette, especially given you let some nunce who knows Jack shit about Nihonto hold what any shinken fan would give their left nut for 😫

3:24 just made me laugh so hard all day today! He is just in the corner of a room praying to a stick with paper feathers or whatever you call it

I also laugh at people praying to a small dude nailed to some T shaped wooden sticks and at those who pray at some fat book of fairy tales called the Bibbel or something.

Maybe he was praying for the West to be less ignorant....

@@donbasuradenuevo I do not pray to an idol on a stick, but I pray to God who sent His son Jesus to pay the sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin for all mankind, that whosoever would ask for forgiveness and believe on Him would have eternal life. Let me add this...., this Honjo Masamune that Japan searches for will be returned to Japan soon in the hands of a Christian to show that God cares for the Japanese. God cares for the Japanese people from the lowest to the highest. God is not a respector of persons. He cares for them all the same.

cool vid but, why would you be looking for the Honjo in Japan? last known it was taken to the US. (we hope and not lost, melted down). Regardless, awesome to see a Masamune. Wish better shots of it was taken.

Found or not we can only hope, that it hasn’t been melted and destroyed with all the other original artifacts.

@@rastkokomnenic3190 Highly unlikely it's been destroyed. Even to someone clueless about swords. It would be obvious just looking at how ornate and well presented it looked, that it is worth a lot of money, priceless in fact!

@@ninjay2k317I second this this sword was turned into a Japanese police station and transferred over to an American unit for confiscation most likely some soldier stole it and it’s in some American ww2 vets attic in Virginia
