Get a glimpse inside the world of traditional Japanese sword making. A 24th generation Japanese swordsmith reveals the secrets to forging the perfect blade.
Imagine traveling halfway around the world to fulfill a lifelong dream – to one day forge a perfect Samurai sword. Roberto is one of the few foreigners who has ever been allowed to apprentice to one of Japan’s top swordmakers. He reveals:
• Where the materials come from (hint: you need a 100-year-old temple)
• What he puts inside the blade so that it remains flexible but can slice through two-inch armor
• How much does a genuine samurai blade cost
(Part 2)
• How do you keep the blade from cracking when you plunge it into cold water?
• Why does it take 8 days to polish a blade?
• They say each blade has a soul. Where does it come from?
Roberto is the best apprentice Masamune has ever had. Once he passes the licensing test, he will create a dilemma that Japan’s traditional sword making society has never had to face. Will they allow Masamune’s sacred name to be passed on to a foreigner?
