Simply amazing!! What inspiration for all children to see Olympia not only speaking PERFECT Chinese but also being interested in such skills! Well done Olympia! I am in awe! Bravo!
Japan: Nuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!! You can't just teach your traditional thousand year old sword making techniques to anyone who comes to visit in only 5 minutes!!!!!!!! Longquan: Hehe~ Quenching go PSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH
Well its not like she could steal his techniques in 5 minutes and go home and start manufacturing anyway. Maybe she'll join and become a swordsmith after this hahaha
revolversmoke Well, it's no longer a secret since it's been modern, some one post it online and the hole world knows it, also modern mass produced swords are not that kinds of techniques stuff, for example: WW2 Japanese use machines to just smash a piece of metal more thin so it's sharp, at the end they got a cheap trash sharp metal bar, and use it good on massacring millions(not joking, really) of Chinese(also some smaller South Asia countries) civilians, for doing this gigantic war crime, they can't really equip every one with a nicely hand made sword.
Well I have to admit this is the first time I saw making a chinese double edge sword in very traditional way that is actually accurate to ancient times!!! The most surprising thing is I never heard or saw about washing iron sand in the lake!!! That is very new for me!!! 😲😲 This video is very informative!!!
@@xyz-g3w6b "...doesn’t live in some silly fantasy world" Were we watching the same video? She went to China and stayed with a swordsmith. She didn't go to Narnia or teleport to fucking Hogwarts.
So unreal ...... In ancient China, there is a saying to describe a good sword or saber: 1, Blow at a bunch of hairs held against the edge, the hairs should all fall in two parts. That is the sharpness of the sword edge; 2, Chop at a piece of metal like it is a piece of mud. That is the strength of the sword; 3, Chop off a human's head without leaving any blood stain on the blade. That is how smooth the blade should be. When I see the so-called sword smith fails to cut through the bamboo in one blow at the beginning, I know he is not making the real stuff. He is also not very well culturally and historically versed. It is purely commercial. Shenguanglong is a big brand in China and sells a lot of fancy swords.
I'd go into it too ... My dream is to make such swords. I have to learn blacksmithing myself. :-( Having such a master who would explain everything, would be priceless.
Forgot to show tempering of the blade, if not done the sword will be hard but brittle and will break when coming in contact with another sword. Tempering makes the sword flexible without breaking.
There's a way to carry the water in a more efficient manner. For the hammering, if you used force from the lower diaphragm and carry thru throughout the body to the hands, with a wider range of strike, it'll be more powerful and less straining on ur hands.
It’s interesting watching this video as, I always assumed that the Japanese were the sword masters of the oriental countries. But every day is a school day and I learnt something new 👍
Actually the Katana was originated from Tang dynasty sword. It wasn't a popular sword in China as there are better, sharper and more durable sword along the dynasties. It was later adopted by Japan after they visit Tang then commonly used in Japan due to its difficulty to find a good quality and purity steel in Japan. Katana got so popular because the manga and anime portray it as a godlike weapon, but majority of us didn't know that it was one of the strategy by Japanese to re-brand the Japanese Bushido image after the WW2 as the Japanese imperial army killed million of civilians including women, children and new born babies with Katana, captured in vintage photos.
It's not a real Han sword. It's not even in the right shape. Defective products of modern industry. If you want to know the real Han sword, please see my personal homepage. There are some Han sword relics on it.
@vcas2911 funny since the chinese coped the katana, even contemporary Chinese sources say that Japanese swords were better. As for the war crime angle, I can talk all about the many Chinese Civil wars, where they did worse things to each other, at an larger scale, did you forget the Taiping rebellion where millions also died?.
Yeah, but WHICH sword maker did you work with???? Long Quan has many sword manufacturers and they are all in competition with each other. Long Quan is the Industrial part of China that makes swords. So many companies are in Long Quan alone!!!
00:46 She said to "fight like a real swordmans", subtitle is wrong. Also, I felt like she wanted to go to China to find an ancient sword in a cave and uncover some long lost sword art and become a warrior. But instead, she got put to manual labour... xD
Hey Gal!! you've only realised how much of a work is sword making by merely engaging yourself in only just 1% of it only in 1 particular style of sword!!! Sword making is a whole big Universe of its own!!! Swords has been a source of pride and power across the world since mankind waged war between two nation, sects etc. Like we all come from different nation, races, colours, regions the same goes to swords too!!! Over the course of history of mankind, swords have seen vast changes and variation in style!!!
it’s almost hard to watch this because the young lady looks EXACTLY like my high school sweatheart. it’s eerie. amy names john bobbitt, though. I don’t know if i’d have been as comfortable around her if she’d been into blades that much
Very cool to see a lady interested in such weapons, someday perhaps you'll make your own but, like you said you must do it with the heart but also mind and soul it must be the embodiment of your thoughts becoming reality and one of the most important things you must give it meaning. Good job lady 👍.
Display sword and battle sword are different, the "making of" showed in this clip is clearly belong to display sword, which have more detail on decoration, but less focus on the blade it self.
it's a sword culture museum, used to display the individual processes of sword making, the actual sword they used at the end is obviously not made in that museum.
if your asking for a sword made by a master then it's gonna cost you 2k to 20k if you want a good sword for a good price go to swords of northshire they make great chinese swords in the 500$ range made by great smiths you can even have them sign the blade with their name i dont know the company for these swords though
Look at Hanbon Forge's Chinese swords. They directly deal with swordsmiths in Longquan, China. All their swords come with a certificate of authenticity too.
Ancient China had huge armies. Unless there were master blacksmiths working behind every tree, someone had to mass produce arms at a furious rate when needed. Is there any record of a Chinese Henry Ford way back then? And do any examples of their work still survive?
@@MMABreakdowns I think there's a shop where they hire blacksmiths from this province, it's called Yomikuni swords, you should check it out Skallagrim showed off one of their Tachi swords
Swords-smith should have given her a sword as a gift, I’m kind of disappointed he didn’t. Olymphia should go to the Arab world and learn about the greatest swords & legendary Damascus steel. The pattern that Damascus steel makes on the blade of the sword ⚔️ is spellbinding that you only thought existed in fantasy genre👌
The jian has 2 edges to represent cutting ties to the past and future. Only be present in the moment and find the beauty of life and lose the fear of death.
Carving on a blade is always done as the final stage. Prior to heat treat, the blade is only rough ground so any carving or horimono at this stage would lose a lot of depth and detail when the blade is finished and polished.
Simply amazing!! What inspiration for all children to see Olympia not only speaking PERFECT Chinese but also being interested in such skills! Well done Olympia! I am in awe! Bravo!
Her Chinese is fine, admirable even, but on what Earth is that PERFECT Chinese lol...
She said PERFECT in all caps so you know she means business
This is not just a Documentary but She is actually learning to make swords the old fashioned way. Amazing. I Congratulate Her🤯
I thank you for preserving this history the art of swordsmithing.
Jian swords are so beautiful!!!
Recently bought a longquan sword and feels so interested in learning the forging steps
How was it

Because they know that modern technology and industry steel is way better making sword with.
2,500 years ago, the Japanese were still living in the Stone Age, and the art of iron smelting in Japan was spread by The Han Dynasty in China.

It reminds me of Sokka making space sword
LOL seriously right? First thought in my head was "someone was watching avatar"
I miss his space sword, shame he lost it.
Me also...
I think it's a meteorite sword. 🤔

Swords have a soul, if it is made by hands, a blacksmith puts it into it with his hard work, sweat, blood and thoughts he thinks in forging.
I have a few swords made in LongQuan. They are very high quality indeed.
What a great experience. Great video!

Japanese are amazing in their own way, how they managed to turn lemons into lemonade is basically turning crap iron into a work of art.

Much respect from Croatia..wish i cant learn become blacksmith..much respect..love your video😎

How did you arrange this experience, being able to work with a smith?
Nice I love Chinese Swords!

it's a sword culture museum, used to display the individual processes of sword making, the actual sword they used at the end is obviously not made in that museum.
Awesome video !! Well done Olympia !
Water quench? Brave and highly skilled.
Excellent video!
Would there be any way for me to go there and learn from him as well
here is this located ????
Do you know what the retail price would be of the master swordsmith that produced swords at that location, and who does he distribute them through?

Nice video🗡️👍
Murasame 😉
I had a sword made in China they are Longquan Sword very famous sword did you make your own sword?
The Water quenching 😮😮😮
Where in China is his workshop?
And is there a way I could get in contact with him?
Longquan province

As a Chinese, I think you more clear for China than me. Besides, you are so beautiful!
Can we bring this kind of sword on plane?
subtitle hard to read
beautiful concept!💖
i love the sword.. and the iron to..
anyone else see how fucked up the blade came out after the quench??? they definitely swapped
Probably the most rushed tutorial you could ever give to someone
Que bonito lugar Bonita la chica el señor chino muy caballero con la chica
This girl is quite cute
This sword looks the same as jian swords but it looked less flimsy, I also thought it might be heavy since I usually saw people use it with one hand
It's han jian from the han dinasty. I once red the weight of a traditional han jian without fittings was between 450 and 900 gramm.
“Jian” means “sword” in Chinese .So “Jian swords” looks like you’re saying “sword swords”.
@@lemon7up199it actually means straight swords. Curved swords are dao

2 groups, or not really 2 even groups, but we got "sword is awesome" or comments about the sword, and "dam shes cute" XD

Sorry I can not see words untill it comes up in dark areas.
Carving after hardening... Interesting
When they were quenching it looked like the lower part of the blade was not hardened. It looked too cold. Though it doesn't make sense
Carving on a blade is always done as the final stage.
Prior to heat treat, the blade is only rough ground so any carving or horimono at this stage would lose a lot of depth and detail when the blade is finished and polished.
She looks really tired. lol, maybe she needs more rest.
Not healthy. Maybe a liver issue.
