Black, black, on blackity, black, black, with swirly mitsudomes for the win! Too bad about the extra weight…. though I must admit I cannot hide my envy for that H.C blade! Regardless, great unboxing Matt 😁👍🏽
@@Matthew_Jensen so it’s one of those things where you kept imagining in your head what it would feel like (weight, balance) when everything was mounted, but because it was “off” when you initially handled it, your first impression wasn’t an excited one. I’ve had that happen, and then after the next 30 mins of swinging it around the house it starts to really feel good in the hand. Plus you’re no small fry, so the little extra oomph you might have to put into a swing isn’t a bad thing. If you ever intended to cut anything with it….i.e tatami….now would be the time to get the feel of it, before the mucho $$$ polish gets done!
What a beautiful sword Matthew! There was or is a legendary smith named Yoshihara. Once travelling outside japan he got a close look at a Howard Clark katana. Apparently it made a lasting impression, he could only dream to work with such materials but laws prohibit him.
Hey Matt, do you know of a way to "quiet" a katana that rattles a little bit when in the sheath? The habaki fits nice and snug, and the sword sheathes well, but I guess the space in the saya where the blade goes is perhaps just a little bit bigger than it should, and sometimes the blade knocks against the sides.
I Hope there will be a video coming soon with close-ups, because, and I don't know about anybody else, but I can't see a darn thing you're pointing out/to. 😄 😉

What is that sound at 11:37? It sounds like your audio is possessed!
I heard it too!

The more I hold it the more I like it. I don't mind a little extra when it feels right. This one does.

Like a kid at Christmas. Beautiful swords!
Looking forward to seeing it closer, it sounds amazingly done from your expression and reaction, would love to be able to use MIB service one day...

The MIB's choice of design gives off an intimating and menacing vibe to this piece. I'm looking forward to seeing the final product.
HECK YEAH! I loved this, sword friend.
Try not to sell these you may regret it 😅
Cool projects.

Good packing advice but where did he find newspaper?
After all this time and so many swords, it's fun to see you all giddy over the Shiney!!!!
Kinda sad that you'll have to stop buying swords now. Never gonna top this, don't even try :)
I used to know old Big Ear, what a fabulous guy he is, and not a bad blade Smith too boot. 😁
Wow, Matthew Jensen looking a bit like Ron Livingston these days
It has swirly mitsudomes. You can't sell it!
A video with a Howard Clark L6 blade is always a favorite for me lol
Great customer work. Hard to beat an H.C. blade
What's the price tag on that swanky weapon?
Are you gonna do a destruction and failure test on those?
Too bad you're not excited at all, Matt. 🤣
Happy for you!! They look great
you lost weight ? ya looking good dude
Very nice! Congrats!
I think unboxing a custom piece is great content. And I'll continue to make unboxing videos because I am so slow at making better ones 🤣
I am behind too.. Creating takes time.
This is gonna be good. I like doing it that way. Here's the blade. Do your thing.
This was a very enjoyable video. Seeing your reaction is priceless.
I Hope there will be a video coming soon with close-ups, because, and I don't know about anybody else, but I can't see a darn thing you're pointing out/to. 😄 😉
Are you aware you can zoom in on the screen on TH-cam? I just zoomed in on my iPhone and you can see the swords perfectly. And they are gorgeous
@@watchreportMy phone is mid-range. So while I can zoom in the resolution is not great.
I heard Masamune was made out of L6. Also, it can cut a lightsabre.
