I doubt very much it was made long ago. If it was made in the Edo period they'd have known where the signature ought to go and not used a name that wasn't a recorded old smith. The actual blade's grain was also as rough as an old goats knee, all over too, so nothing like a real Nihonto at all.

The way he asks for permission and bow down to the sword is just class, his way of explaining is just icing on the cake.

Mike comes to my workplace often he’s a really nice guy! The first time I met him I geeked out cuz he’s my favorite expert on the show!
Mike Yamasaki, Rebecca, Sean Rich & Craig Gottlieb is my favorite experts
This guy needs his own show.
He never forgets to show us the traditional way of removing the blade from the handle and the hilt.
4:00 Couldn't be more American. Mike hands over the Katana with two hands. Rick takes it with one. ZERO HONOR & RESPECT.

Two person only this show can give me goosebump .. this guy and rebecca
Looking at it, Yamaski seems to be the only one who understands that these swords are extremely dangerous if one is not very careful
I’ve seen most of these episodes and I understand they are just in this business of buy/sell katana. but i think Rick and the staffs should at least learn the proper gesture as a respect when recieving the sword. At least, It should not be grabbed by one hand and yank while seated.
I am amazed at how easily the handle comes off of those katanas! I wonder how often that happens during a battle.
i love samurai sword!
This guy does now to work well. And you can trust him. I like his work.
