Campaign The Atlas Katana
Project Role Editor
Production Company Humanaut Productions
For Father’s Day, House of Atlas melted down over ten thousand real Atlas razor blades and forged a handcrafted katana. And after that they actually put it up for sale. check out the actual $9,999 Atlas Katana here.
The production drew heavily from the samurai epics of Akira Kurosawa, envisioning cuts that would feel less like a traditional commercial and more like a lost samurai film that just happened to be about razor blades. Like the first campaign, the joke only works if it’s completely committed to it, and apparently the natural evolution of making a morning shave feel legendary was forging an actual sword.
