I'm Korean. When I was kid, I went to Korean military museum, and I lifted the replica(I don't remeber it was replica but it should be) to feel the weight of it(it was built for lifting experiences). Damn that was heavy. Btw, that one was longer than that. Admiral Yi had various swords. 다쓰고 봤는데 여기 한국 채널이네 ㅋㅋㅋ 위에 읽기 귀찮다면 대충 어릴때 전쟁기념관에서 들라고 만든 이순신 장검 레플리카 들어봤는데 개크고 무거웠다는거
I only found out that there was such a legend as Admiral Yi Sun-Sin a couple of months ago! Addicted to history of the Joseon now! Love the book with the calligraphy in. Is that Chinese?
At that time, Korean and Japanese swords looked very similar. Since Korea and Japan have exchanged many cultural influences since ancient times, it is only natural that there are some similarities. Although Korean and Japanese swords have similar shapes, they are very different if you look closely. It's just that as Japan's samurai culture became popular, the shape of the katana was promoted as if it were unique to Japan. It is similar to the fact that medieval European swords were very similar in style regardless of country. Do not forget that Japan and Korea were the closest neighbors.
Around that time, Korean swords began to be made to have more Japanese styles due to seeing them during Wokou raids and the Imjin war itself. Many were even imported as it was found to be effective and the style became popular. Also, the earlier korean swords already had some similarities, like the curved blade and disk guard. There's more to it but that's just a quick note.
@@dingleberry4234 Korea actively took on weaponry and tactics from invaders. The curved sword becomes more prominent after the Mongol invasions and becomes shorter in a similar fashion to them. In this way, they sought to adapt to new enemies.

@@LordPeaceFrog Korean swords are called Hwandos, and although they looks similar, a Hwando has a completely different construction. The Japanese katana is built for downward hacking, but Hwandos are built for sideways slashing. So a hwando would probably be lighter than a katana. And unlike Japanese swords, which use the infamous (and often overrated) steel folding, Korean swords use standard smelting just like the rest of the world.
@@loonytricky as a Japanese I'm a huge fan of Admiral Yi Sun Sin I'm impressed and amazed at how well Japan absorbed maintained , preserved Tang Chinese , Beakje Gaya Korean cultures way better than the Koreans and Chinese could ever dream of . Besides I guess being an island nation and not being invaded also helps to. China and Korea constantly being invaded by Mongols and northern invaders decimating prior cultures over and over . We Japanese do know how to preserve Cultures of our neighborhood better than our neighbors themselves LOL . No offense . Korea will always be inferior to Japan and Evel China Wich Korea itself was influenced by Greater Tang Empires soft power .
Korean swords are the best.

Yes Chinese characters / Hanja in Korea.
A teaser for the Yi Sun Shin. I'm looking for the next episodes about the Joseon Dynasty.
Hehe well I’m certainly going to make one about him but I need to do more research for now - especially about the Imjin Wars.

Japan learned how to make katanas from korean swords like these
环刀借鉴了武士刀
what a beautiful sword
이순신 장군 아닌가요 왜 제목에 장겁이라고?
오타인듯요..
장검 긴칼 잼민아
겁이라고 썼네
Is this a replica or the actual item?
Probably a replica. He died at sea… This sword was probably only used for ceremonial purpose though.
@@loonytricky real one actually. He used it in battles, mostly to guide and point locations.
This one is a replica made from historical documents to estimate what his sword would have looked like
@@nahi27 there is a real sword in different museum near southern sea in korea. but this one is replica in seoul.
Korean swords are beautiful.
장검*
That’s awesome.
한국검은 질이 좋은데 살짝 생산력이 딸리지
That looks like a katana.. is that really korean sword? Or they just replicate japanese katana?

They are neighbors. There are bound to be similar in some aspects.
Don’t mean to offend anyone but I’ve always kinda seen ancient Korean weaponry as a kind of mix of Chinese and Japanese.
