Apparently P.A. Works contracted Man At Arms to make a sword

They want that sweet Western Market that the nips don't pay any attention too. It's an advertisement.

Are there even any Japanese smiths who do videos like this?

Why can't Americans pronounce foreign words properly? Fuck it's not even difficult.

It's called Tamahagane, not Tamahaganeeeyyyy.

>>146781616
The same reason nips can't pronounce the letter L and always put a U at the end of every wordu.

They're all weebs, why do you think that PA paid them when they do it for free?

>>146781616
>I have no idea what an accent is.

>>146781887

PA paid for their material and probably its shipping. And might I add it's not cheap material.

At this point, does japanese really mean 'better' even to the japanese?

>Apparently P.A. Works contracted Man At Arms to make a sword for their show. Why didn't they go to a Japanese swordsmith?


Because the series is on Netflix so they wanted to let Western audience know.

you stupid weeb japs charge out the ass for a shitty made sword, japs never improved on sword making techniques they completely stopped improvements at a certain era unlike europeans who kept innovating, refining techniques n designs. The viking twisted steel is a stronger technique than fucking time consuming folding steel and there are even better modern ways that get very accurate carbon to steel ratio for a perfect sword in less time.

>>146781177
What do you think Japanese swordsmith hourly rate is?

You are not helping your case.

>viking twisted steel

Katana are made out of shitty low grade iron so there is not much you can do to work with it.

So is folding just a simple way to make shit iron less shit with no tools or is it in any way relevant for modern steel?

>So is folding just a simple way to make shit iron less shit
Yes.

>is it in any way relevant for modern steel?
There is something similar in modern blades. Layered steel, which puts a very hard alloy into the middle, so you have a good cutting edge. Then you sandwich that with softer metal for stability.

I would say 'Tahm-mah-hah-gah-nay'

But this is wrong right? How is it pronounced?

>>146783334
Literally TamaHagaNe with no accent or weird shit.

>making fun of Illya
He's best boy you gigantic faggot.

Probably because it's cheaper and no genuine Japanese swordsmith would want to desecrate his artisan-ship by making that.

nips only make muh authenthic katana. this kind of gimmick no blacksmith in nipland will take it seriously.
