I think this is the most impressive video that Man At Arms has ever done, and that’s saying a lot since they’ve recreated all the coolest weapons from TV shows and movies in real life. But there’s something ridiculous impressive about making a katana (stylized like the one from Kill Bill) the traditional old school Japanese way.
There is so much work in a blade and the result is absolutely stunning. It starts with using 1100 pounds of charcoal to make their own metal from ore to using 24 karat gold as a finishing touch.
