Customized+ katana from Hanbon Forge (in honor of my father, who passed away a few years ago) Samurai James 2023-02-12 | A sword that I had made by Hanbon Forge. It has the usual customization options, and another one off-menu that I asked for beyond that. My father passed away a few years ago and I was having some substantial emotional turmoil a couple months ago, as it was the anniversary of a few heavy life events. This was an attempt to cope with things.While it has helped a bit with losing my father, I don't think anything will ever truly heal that; not even time. My father was wonderful and I have so many happy memories, and mementos when he was alive. The pain may dull off a bit over time, but it will never go away. Despite multiple attempts at a few things (not just swords) to cope with the miscarriage, the only thing that ever helped me was when my daughter was born. I had a surreal moment in the hospital while my wife was in bed recovering and I was looking at my baby girl in her little crib. I'm still bitter about the miscarriage, and it will stick with me forever, but her birth is helping me to move past it as best as I can.Stone Built Knives: etsy.com/shop/StonebuiltknivesMusic: Instinct by Bensound | bensound.com00:00 Intro00:06 Notes00:16 Unboxing01:05 Stats card01:39 Emotional non-sword rambles02:38 Review continues03:40 Emotional non-sword rambles05:50 Review continues10:39 Close up photos and video12:03 Sayonara!Ways to support the channel:Iron Mountain Armory affiliate linkshop.samurai-armor.com/?link=9ROS9BDMy Patreon pagepatreon.com/samuraijamesMy Ko-Fi pageko-fi.com/samuraijames

How To (maybe) have a sword in Renn Faire / Renn Fest that dont allow weapons (Use common sense!) Samurai James 2022-11-08 | Disclaimer:This is what I have used for RENN FAIRE and PRIVATE Halloween parties. In the case of this particular renn faire, they do not allow weapons, but the security guards do allow this type of modified sword. Most of us probably have a wall hanger or two we wouldn't mind chopping down to use for this.We have used swords like this for years and faire checks them every time. At one point we tried gluing the cut off blades into the scabbard to prevent them from falling out, and they were rejected because it was essentially a wooden bladed sword at that point (which they also do not allow).ALWAYS be respectful of the rules. Ask in advance before cutting down your sword, if you aren't sure.Ways to support the channel:Iron Mountain Armory affiliate linkshop.samurai-armor.com/?link=9ROS9BDMy Patreon pagepatreon.com/samuraijamesMy Ko-Fi pageko-fi.com/samuraijames

Hands On Look at the Evolution of Samurai Swords (Japanese swords) Samurai James 2022-06-15 | There is no exact recorded year that the first sword of each type was made, since there were many smiths working in many areas with different ways of making even the same kind of sword.

DIY: Wall Mounted Sword Rack Samurai James 2022-04-19 | Building a six tier rack for my wall. I used part of an existing one as a template. Since this is above a shoji screen, I had a specific amount of height to work with.For the horizontal pieces, if I did it again I would make the side rails that hold the swords come out further. I traced the existing rack, which had thinner horizontal pieces. I test fit before doing the final assembly and that's when I learned that the 3/4" horizontal pieces would touch tsuba on the inside of the rack. If you are only displaying large swords like katana, tachi, and such then this wouldn't matter because the tsuba would always be on the outside of the rack.There would be no issues with tsuba if the depth was a bit more, but it worked out fine. Since the original rack has been disassembled for a few years, I'm not sure if it has the same problem with wakizashi and tanto or not.Floating shelf hardware won't fit behind the 3/4" sides without sticking out. I considered D-ring hangers with bear claw screws, but hanging a thousand bucks worth of stuff on a couple small hooks to screws in drywall sounded like a bad gamble. I may lightly decorate the horizontal pieces later.Ways to support the channel:Iron Mountain Armory affiliate linkshop.samurai-armor.com/?link=9ROS9BDMy Patreon pagepatreon.com/samuraijamesMy Ko-Fi pageko-fi.com/samuraijames

Review: RyanSword Naginata, unboxing, initial impressions, and cutting Samurai James 2022-02-12 | Unboxing and checking out my RyanSword naginata. Not many places offer a naginata, so I had to check this one out. Purchased by me, not sponsored in any way. Targets are water bottles, two liter soda bottles, and some thin bamboo (approx 1/4" to 3/8").ryansword.com/78-Naginata-1095-High-Carbon-Steel-Iron-Tsuba--Ryan1389-p-1266.htmlStone Built Knives:etsy.com/shop/StonebuiltknivesWays to support the channel:Iron Mountain Armory affiliate linkshop.samurai-armor.com/?link=9ROS9BDMy Patreon pagepatreon.com/samuraijamesMy Ko-Fi pageko-fi.com/samuraijamesTIMELINE00:00 Intro00:06 Unboxing03:56 Cutting water bottles05:18 Cutting two liter bottles06:05 Cutting bamboo08:22 Player two has joined09:28 Naginata tries again09:55 Close Up photos10:16 Conclusion----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Eastminster by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100719Artist: http://incompetech.com
