Maybe a dumb question, but couldnt someone heat treat the sword again to get it back?
Too bad. It's the real thing, but isn't worth much except as a wall-hanger and conversation piece.
Now he will go pawn it off on some other less knowledgeable sucker. One who doesn’t watch pawn stars 😂
Doesn't know a single thing about it, yet he wants 7k. Boy, i tell yah, it never ends. 🤣
Wow its been awhile you uploaded a samurai sword and i miss Mike haha
Id pay 500 for that alllll day long, the fire part makes it cooler in my opinion. If that sword was mint imagine paying 10k for it a actually USING it
Can they just stop it with the puns?
Give mike a show
Its bizarrely identical to the meatcanyon parody. I can’t unsee it now
😀
"I'm really glad the expert came in"…..
No your not.
I'd take all the new stuff off and make a shadow box with some facts about the maker and where it came from.
"It's only good as a tool, a practice sword"
Well, what would you use it for anything except for practice? It's not like you are gonna go into a battle with it to slice people?
Anyone else repeat " hey how's it going" multiple times to see how silly it looked?
Funny how every seller has a pun at the end of their video. It's almost like the producers make them do it or something.
Sword expert: "it's worth $10000!
Also Sword expert: "Haha this why I love my job… it worth nothing at all!"
You’d think the story of its owner being killed in battle and the sword burning would make it more valuable
Why do you have a Bean on ur 👂 Ricky get away from Chum Lee and the drugs u all we got
Hey he didn't sell it, but he gained a cool story to tell and some may say that's priceless… I'd say it was priced at around $6,500 though.
That intro 💀💀
🗣: ACTION
Hey ! How's it going ?
Crazy how something so old, with such history and craftsmanship can be practically worthless.
I understand it doesn't function as a sword but I doubt many samurais buy their swords in Ricks shop so let's be honest it'd likely be a display piece anyway. Collectors really are pedantic SOB's aye
0:14 – 0:16😂😂😂😂
anyone notice ricks hearing aids ?
Samurai sword is evolution of DHA sword with mixture of metal used in Keris it eel like Dagger making too but uses only less metal , once the Japanese use Chinese double blade
Is there no way at all to restore it? 🙁
I Wonder Though It Got Burned In A Major Battle In WW2 Remember There Were Alot Of Japanese Soldiers Burned By Flame Throwers!And Perhaps That Sword Could Of Been Burned Up By A Flame Thrower And If It Was The Value Could Go Up
I don’t think the blade having fire damage should take away from the value that much the blade is still 400 years old and was most likely used in battle just because it’s a little fragile isn’t gonna make difference when it’s hanging on ur wall
It's pretty cool that I could own a 1600s battle used samurai sword for only $500. It being labeled negatively as being only a practice sword and not being collectable seems strange considering not many collectors would be looking for a sword fight. I think it's age and history makes this a collectable piece. Although that opinion is from someone who knows less than nothing about swords and is stoned watching YouTube at 3 in the morning.
Covid pawn stars is wack
And that's what you get when you think you have 7 grand sitting there
Mike is probably my favorite guy on the show. But a 1600's actual real, probably tamahagane Japanese sword that was clearly used, and most likely fought in a battle where a castle burned to the ground and it still survived isn't worth more than $500? Sell me that sword. Pft. Fire damage. Give me that.
i don't think anything that old should be that cheap it came out of the 16th century this thing is old had alot of owners it has a better history then most of people's family's
I would pay $1000- 1200 for it. Rick should have got that piece of history
I think the sword is from the year 1657 when The Great Fire of Meireki happened. I dont believe its just a 500$ sword, theres a great story behind it.
I would happily take a ~400 year old sword for $500. I don't want to use it, I just want it to look cool.
Dude just came to have his sword appraised
I really do enjoy when Mike Yamasaki swings by the pawn shop. What a nice and knowledgable man.
I watched an episode of Pawn stars tonight and had forgotten what a straight up piece of crap Chumlee is.
First time Rick actually puts down a offer for a sword but we need to trust every word this expert says 🗡
Do they think about using the sword on a fight?
Am I the only one who would rather see an episode with Mike and a samurai sword than a book and Rebecca? Yeah, I guess I'm probably the only one 😂
Mike is a great guy, must be something to do with his name
It will keeeeellllll
"The katana was one of two swords… " What's the other one called??
Good
Mike is the best expert on pawn star period.
Lost its hardness. Similar to many guys then
🔥
Finally a sword I can afford and rick turns it down
