Secrets of the Samurai Sword is a 2007 PBS NOVA documentary that explores the creation of a traditional Japanese katana. Following master artisans and scientists, the program traces the journey from raw iron ore through the meticulous forging process to the finished blade. Viewers gain insight into both the chemistry and physics underlying centuries of sword-making craftsmanship, as well as the spiritual significance these weapons hold in Japanese culture.

This single-disc DVD release runs 53 minutes and carries a not-rated designation. The program features contributions from Rob Tinworth and Takako Hayashi alongside NOVA’s expert narration. Owning this used copy lets you explore the art and science of katana-making at a fraction of the cost of a new release.
