There's no finer sword than a brand spankin' new Hattori Hanzō sword.

In Quentin Tarantino's 2003 ultimate revenge flick Kill Bill: Volume 1, Black Mamba/The Bride/Beatrix (Uma Thurman) asks Hattori Hanzō, Bill's former mentor, to make her one of his priceless swords. The world renowned swordsmith is reluctant at first, but once she mentions Bill's name, who is displeased with, he changes his tune. Hanzō spends a month crafting a new sword, a weapon he swore a quarter-of-a century ago to never make again.

In the 18-minute video below, the Man At Arms Youtube Channel forge Hattori Hanzō's Katana using traditional techniques. Check it out!
