This episode, despite juggling a cold and babysitting a puppy, Guenevere Lee and Noel Sayar give a little history on samurai weaponry - including the tachi and naginata. We also cover some of the greats sword masters, and the legends surrounding them; like the competition between Masamune and Murasama to create the greatest katana.

Learn a brief history of samurai weaponry, as well as why the swords of Murasama were considered cursed. And was Hattori Hanzo really a great sword master as Kill Bill would have us believe?
