Sorry, it was not on Voyages, it was on Almanac.  Here is their text.

  Tune In:

The greatest Samurai swordsmith of all time was the 13th century master
Masamune. We examine the master's rare and valuable swords and watch the
creation of a new sword by modern master Yoshimitsu Ono through each amazing
stage of the intricate and lengthy process of swordmaking. To fully
appreciate the deadly beauty of the Samurai sword we also witness the
thrilling spectacle of martial arts experts wielding these razor-sharp
swords today.   TVPG

Fillis, Can you help me find out about this?
Couldn't find anything on the "history channel" website.
My kids want to see the swordmaking video if at all possible.
Thanks,
