These are some fine looking swords
So a grandfather brought back a rare sword from japan during ww2 and his grandson sold it to take his family to a theme park..very very admirable.

I love when Chumlee explains the history of the object like he actually knows what he’s talking about and it wasn’t just told to him 15 minutes before the shot.
Isn’t it apart of there job to know all about stuff ?
@Clancy _hanrahan You really think they talk about every single item that comes in like the first paragraph of a Wiki off the cuff? They know about stuff sure but not that detailed.
@Clancy _hanrahan They probably each know about their own niche stuff
No, it’s documented that the show is staged… just like any reality TV show. What I can’t understand is how anybody can think it isn’t scripted either by just watching the behavior or just the fact the anything going on broadcast is always scripted but it’s so obvious it’s hard to watch sometimes
@Steve Voltmann I mean it should be pretty obvious that it’s scripted by how rinse and repeat it is, with the only difference between occurrences being the people and the item(s). It’s always customer walks up, briefly describes the item, presents what they want, pawn shop calls an expert, expert gives opinions on item, seller wants what the expert values the item at, pawn shop offers less than 50% of the value mentioned by expert, a little bit of “haggling” and then a sale/walk away.
I love when Chum gets something and everyone questions him and then it ends up being worth a lot more
You know they are all on a set right? The people walking around are actors
@Extreme Chimpout I mean, yeah, that’s true. However, I thought that the actual shop was like right next door or something like that and if someone came into the real shop with an item that was worth putting on TV then they would come over to the set of the show and then they would film the interaction which was probably already done in some way so that they know to at least some extent how the conversation and negotiation is gonna go etc. Some people have made such a big deal out of the fact that they use a set and have previously established people selling items that have already been negotiated for and that both parties are aware of whether it’s gonna be bought or not. Personally, I really don’t think it’s all that big of a deal. Especially considering the fact that they needed some type of way to help distinguish between the customers who don’t have anything worth filming and the customers who do. Simple.
@Poncho_ X no this is filmed on a fake set in california
@ryan odonnell Nope. Just use wikipedia: “As a result of filming at the shop, however, the four main cast members only work the main counter during shoot days, due to laws that require the identity of customers pawning items to remain confidential, and the tourists and fans taking photos and video in the showroom that would preclude this. When shooting episodes of the series, the store is temporarily closed to the public, with only a handful of vetted customers allowed into the showroom.”
@Ludwig Van So Chumlee wants to look like a total DH, why?
Mike Yamasaki needs his own History Channel or Disney+ show all about Japanese swords and the history of the Samurai.
I’ll second that
Honestly I’d be down for that
I’d love that show
Chumlee needs his own, lol.
I third that
Dude I honestly love this show but sometimes it just hurts watching some amazing items go for the same price as a new iPhone.
thats because an iPhone is over priced
@simon lloyd GOTTEM
I love this show cause it gives me the opportunity to see really precious artifacts!
But I find the guys in that shop almost scammers, sorry!
@Marianthe Skiadaresi They’re a business, not collectors. If they had smaller margins, there’d be no show for anyone to watch.
Kudos to Mike Yamasaki for holding every blade with care..
yea, my stomach gets mushed every time I see the others putting their oily hands on the blades. I am totally not exaggerating when I say you can ruing any blade, not to mention the very old ones because of the acidic nature of the oily hands
MIKE is very careless, just watching him makes my stomach turn
@Nate H Brother Roy huh ?
@Razvan Adrian Solea depends on condition. And also if you clean the blade or not.
Some antiques it doesn’t matter as they already have a patina. Also depends on steel alloy. And can depend on if the blade is oiled or not.
Properly it doesn’t matter if you clean and reoil it. But some alloys like L6 for example rust very fast. And some ancient steel is kind of unknown.
I really like the aspect of sharing the background and historical events of the items brought in.
History Channel baby 😎
You have to love when they start explaining background of the item to its owner even if 5 seconds before that had no clue what this item was. I know it has to be entertaining and probably creators of that show thought it would be the best way to explain something to the audience, but this instant change is so ridiculous 😀
yeah, if anything just added ‘well looked it up and-‘ and that’s all you need for a good way to let the rest blast past.
LMFAO I know, right? Forget the pawn shop and this show! Rick and Corey should take that genius test and see if they can get that genius grant for money. I mean, with all the knowledge they’ve gained through the show and through their shop, I bet they would know almost everything. Either that or get on Jeopardy and see if you can go on a run and win tons of money. Then the other one could go, one at a time, ya know?
@TheAngryDanishViking True, the modern audience doesn’t really need that much of a boost to buy into pretty much anything. Unfortunately.
Mike Yamasaki is true master and how deep respect he has to those swords.He should broadcast his channel
really great expertise at that shop. many small pawn shops wont deal with high ticket items. 18k for a sword is quite steep.
I love the brutal honesty on the guy with the wow sword. He said “its still in the original box I haven’t played with it…Much.”
the expert knew nothing about the game though, “if you were one of the top tier players, you had to have frostmourne” …uh no one had frostmourne it was never in the game as an obtainable item.
i feel like 750 is a steal for that sword
@Binsto Yeah that dude pretty much scammed himself when he decided to take the sword to pawn stars
@El Rodrigo You can get a new Frostmourne replica for less than 300 bucks nowadays. Unless you find somebody who’s hot on the original box, 750 is a great deal for it.
The way Mike Yamasaki explain things very thoroughly and politely just makes me thinks he’s a great person. “When handing a sword, and if you trust the one you’re handing it to. Make sure the blade is pointing towards you.”
It’s not the person, it’s the culture. Something the west never really had in the first place.
Yes. And he respects and give some pray to every katana before he unsheath it. Mike and Book Girl is the best advisors
@Luka Dragovic You do prove that bigotry is still alive in the world.
@Luka Dragovic In the end, they never had one originally so can’t blame them.
That sword expert is amazing. He’s soooo intelligent and knows everything about his craft. Love him.
Yeah, David Baker is a really cool guy. Great to watch him when they let him show off a little on Forged in Fire.
Love how Rick walked out to talk to the customer that bought the sword, realized who it was, sold him another sword.
Was very obviously scripted, he couldn’t even keep his usually decent acting skills under control pretending it wasn’t 😛 Still funny though
The first owner is one the few owners I respected in this show!
He knows the value of his possession and refuses to underestimate it
Except it wasnt a Dragoons sword from the Imperial Guard, was a ceremonial award he would of been lucky to get what was offered
They really do got good stuff that comes in, even if it is set up. Was fun to watch. Great video
In Mike we trust. Anytime I see him, I know it’s an honest and professional assessment on an item.
Mike and Rebecca imo.
An old friend of mine owned a pawn shop for a lot of years and I will always remember a card he had in front of a showcase:
“Nothing is worth anything until someone wants it”
Words to live by……
That pulwar was an incredible restoration. Who would have thought such a beautiful sword was under all that rust.
Great to see Dave Baker from ‘Forged in Fire’ on the show. Much respect for his knowledge and appraisals 🙌
Glad someone finally gives him his respect in these comments. I was afraid no one was going to know him.❤
