Beautiful sword the craftsman ship these guys put into these old katanas time spent making just the blade alone really blew me away a lot of man hours.

Thanks for watching! Yes Nihonto craftsmanship is truly amazing functional works of art. The amount of knowledge and skill to forge one of these swords is awe inspiring. That’s why I am truly appreciative to be the caretaker of each of the Nihonto I have in my collection. I feel obliged to honor the sword smiths and all of the subsequent generations of people over the last 500+ years that have cared for the swords before me.

The swordmaking that we have now is largely from the 18th century or from the Edo period. Anything before that is passed down verbally and not written down, so how ancient swords were made has a missing link.

Yes you're correct, that is why Japan is really making efforts to keep the swordmaking tradition going. Most of the existing swordsmiths are the only link between present and past with knowledge that was passed between each generation.
