Last evening they aired:
“Secrets of the Samurai Sword”
Very worth while IMHO.
It was that interesting that I plan to watch it
again if I get the chance.

Second time I've watched it. Definitely an art form!
I was amazed at the sword polisher. Anybody who can sit there and grind on a sword with an Arkansas stone for a few weeks gets my respect. Did I hear that right,..he was a 14th generation Sword polisher..?

No good me watching it, Samurai Swords have been banned in the nanny state that was once Great Britain. They are far too dangerous for us Brits to have! 
Whatever you do always give 100%........... unless you are donating blood.
