Japanese sword-making is a tradition that goes back centuries, and one that’s carried on to this day. Each sword takes dedication, skill and can take over 18 months to create. The resulting blades can be worth thousands of dollars. So what makes them so expensive?
Becoming a swordsmith in Japan takes a 5-year apprenticeship, and there are only around 180 working smiths today. Master Akihira has been making these swords for 21 years at his studio just outside of Tokyo, Japan.
Japanese swords have always been more than just weapons, they were artworks, status symbols, and throughout history had a huge spiritual importance.
Each sword is a unique artwork and one that is made to be admired as you would a painting. As sheets of steel are folded into each other again and again wood grain-like patterns form, and these patterns coupled with the skill of the swordmaster create a completely unique blade.
Knowing what to look for in each sword is important, characteristics like the angle of the blade and the way the metal is folded could give away the era in which it was made, and even who made it. Every small detail is treated as equally important.
Looking at the months of work that go into creating each blade, it's easy to see why these swords command such a high price. And as there are less and less sword masters across Japan, these works of art are only going to become more valuable.

You're directly contradicting yourself. They can't even make the sword straight because their methods are so poor.

@MovieFactory 9 месяцев назад

@@MrCmon113 what the hell. what does the curvature of katana have to do with its quality. you are mistaking something. their raw materials (iron sand) is poor. but their methods are really good. they clean the iron sand of impurities, smelt it and then fold it a dozen times to make it hamogenous. they can absolutely make the sword straight. differential hardening introduces curvature biased towards the thicker side, but you can account for that, and forge a curve in the opposite direction, so when you harden it, it turns out straight. many historical japanese swords are made like that. infact the predecessor of the tachi and katana were straight. Sure nihonto arent as good as pop culture makes them out to be, but they definitely are good. sengoku period blades are about equal in steel purity to contemporary european blades.

A little-known fact about Japanese swords. 1. Japanese swords have been famous in Asia since the middle ages, and they were exported to China, Korea and distant Asian countries. Influenced by Japanese swords used by pirates in the medieval period, some swords in China and Korea came to resemble Japanese swords. 2. The forging method used by modern Japanese swordsmiths was developed in Japan in the 1500s. In the 1500s, the Bizen school of swordsmiths, the largest group of swordsmiths in Japanese swords, was destroyed by a great flood, and uniform steel began to circulate throughout Japan, so the accurate forging method of Japanese swords before that was not accurately inherited. Therefore, Japanese swords are divided into the Koto Period (Old sword period) before the 1500s and the Sintho Period (New sword period) after that. 3. Since the 1900s, Koreans came to Japan and learned how to make Japanese swords from Japanese swordsmiths. Using this technology, they started to make swords in Korea, and they claim that "We are restoring old Korean swords in a traditional way.". However, these technologies were developed in Japan in the 1500s and are forging technologies in the Sinto period (New sword period). In addition, most of the restored swords are similar to Japanese swords exported from Japan to Korea in the medieval period and not to Korean old swords.
