Mid shot of Katana sword in presentation display LEAD IN: Made famous by Japan's legendary samurai warriors, Katana swords were at the cutting-edge of military technology in its day. The secrets of Japan's master sword makers have been closely guarded for generations. But now a company in Cambodia is perfecting the art of Katana sword making, by training local people with little previous experience. STORYLINE: The Katana sword is regarded by some as the finest blade ever made. Each Katana blade is made according to a rigorous process that takes from a month and half to two months to complete. The process begins in a charcoal-fired forge where the blade's raw steel is heated to over 800 degrees centigrade. Sparks fly as these highly skilled blacksmiths hammer the molten metal into the characteristic curved shape of a Katana sword. The company's blacksmiths are from the minority Cham-Muslim community who are renowned in Cambodia for their metal-working skills. Poung Ply is the head blacksmith. He says that he learned how to forge metal from his father back in his village. When the firing process is complete the swords are polished in a series of steps.
