Hm... Depends! Like, my first few years of memory are pretty hazy, but I started remembering stuff pretty soon after I came outta the forge. I think some of the reeeally old swords probably don't even remember when they started remembering, anymore.
[After they're done removing the pins, he'll show Kumon how to carefully slide away the hilt hand guard and all of the various other bits that make up the non-blade part of the sword.]
It's just normal for me, but it probably sounds pretty weird for a human, huh?
[Bless Kumon, he'll get the sense as Kashuu watches that he very much appreciates the care he's taking...]
--Ah, that'd be Mikazuki Munechika, for sure. He's a few hundred years over a thousand, but the other Sanjou swords definitely give him a run for his money! They're all over a thousand.

S'not a bad trait to have, I guess. [HE GUESSES. But he's definitely looking excited at that, motioning Kumon over to the sword maintenance corner.]
C'mere! [Pat-patting the space on the floor beside him!!] It's actually not as hard as it sounds.

He takes the space Kashuu offers!!]
I'm a good hands on learner.

But he'll nod! And then gesture towards one of the more katana-style swords.]
If you wanna be hands on about it, you can find a new friend to take care of!
no subject
This guy?

[He'll point to the little circle near the hand guard, picking up a tool - the mekugi-nuki and its metal dowel - and passing one Kumon's way.]
Gently, like this--
[Very light tap-tap-taps!]
no subject
[He will start lightly, lightly tapping on the circle.]

[They're going to fill every person in this prism with Toy Story concerns.]
no subject
It takes a long time, huh?
no subject
Sometimes, yeah. Legends say a hundred years! ...But usually, a lot of us have at least some form of awareness waaay before then.
[And some are just aware from the start.]
no subject
Really? When do you remember... remembering?

[Kumon follows the instructions, slowly, because he doesn't want to lose any sword bits. He very definitely does not know how to forge more.]
Who's the oldest sword you know?

no subject
Whoa! That's so long!
no subject
[A few decades is just the first few months of life to a sword... But he'll just laugh at that very true exclamation.]
Hah, right? They're sooo old.
no subject
I definitely don't think I'd remember much if I was that old.
[He barely remembers his times tables.]
no subject
Yeah, you only have so much room in your head or whatever, I guess. So the more you have in there, the more you gotta throw out!
[Is that how it works.]
