I recently bumped into this awesome video profiling one of the VERY few legit swordsmiths left in Japan that make katana. I have alot of interest in earlier period Japanese history and the amount of passion and hard work craftsman invested in those times. I used to take Kendo and Iaido myself. So, I really enjoy the tradition and overall dedication it takes to do this type of work. To think that making one sword would take roughly 3 months on average is NUTZ! It takes 3 months to build a car! 0_o
