I’d rather save up eat sushi in Japan than waste my money at poor quality AYCE sushi in Denver.

The legendary Honjo Masamune sword, regarded as a national treasure in Japan. It was forged around 1300 by the renowned swordsmith Gorō Nyūdō Masamune, who developed techniques to create superior blades capable of withstanding the toughened Mongol armor during the invasion of Japan.

Masamune's innovative methods involved folding high carbon steel over 30,000 times, creating a blade with a flexible spine and a rigid, razor-sharp cutting edge.

The broader, longer blade was designed to pierce Mongol armor, and the hardened edge allowed for easy repair. The Honjo Masamune was not just a weapon but a work of art, renowned for its beauty and discerning, honorable nature.

The sword was passed down through generations of ruling Shoguns for over 700 years, playing a significant role in Japan's rigid social structure.

The samurai, the knightly class, revered their swords as their most prized possessions, symbolizing their souls.

After World War II, the Honjo Masamune mysteriously disappeared.

Records indicate that a U.S. Sergeant took possession of the sword, with the intention of having it destroyed.

However, some believe he may have saved it and brought it back to America instead.

Today, the Honjo Masamune is estimated to be worth millions of dollars, and experts speculate that it may still exist, hidden away somewhere.
