Tradtional weapons thread.

OP image is modern made Kusari-fundo. A weighted chain com I ng from Japan. Interesting weapon. Mainly used to distract an enemy as well as wrap around an opponent's katana manipulating him to lower his guard and striking him. This was often used by Ronin and Japanese samurai police forces.

Some of these cost like $400 just because they are authentic. Pic isn't. Pic is a modern one.

authentic Nipponese chain folded over 10^3 times.

I get the sense you're being sarcastic, but if such a chain is folded over that many times than I guess you're pating for quality and the fact it's an antique.

Going to call some blacksmiths this weekend to see what is possible for them to make for me.

I'm not too fond of that guy, he is often wrong and he comes across as rather annoying and sometimes quite undeservedly arrogant.

Im not particluraly a fan of his either. Infact beyond this sheild segment he uploaded in 2 parts I dont watch him. I tried a few of his videos. They seemed fine to watch. I dont get the vibe of arrogance. If you get that feeling from him you could be sensing it coming from the fact that hes a university proffesor. Im not certian he is one, but I think hes mentioned in the past. His degree is in history. I do beleive he went on to teach at a university which would explain how he has so much money to afford all the gear and "tradtional" weapons.

I havent seen him offer any quality made weapons ever.

He and the ninja historian, who has his own channel, on the second video were the only videos on the english based youtube world to have material on Japanese sheilds. This is why I posted it.

Please feel free to post other videos or youtubers you have more respect for when discussing tradtional lartial arts or Japanese weapons.

I found a Koto period katana for sale for $750.

Anywhere from 794 AD to 1599AD.

I dont have that kind of money to drop in an isntant so give it a while. Things like this in America are cheap compared to Japan. I could turn around make money off of tgis in Japan if I wanted to, but that is the lowely merchants way unlike the warrior.

No. It's a live video of a high caliber samurai sengoku hand cannon or rather cannon rifle.
