    Is anyone as confused as I am by this last post?

    Oh, I do really like your razor stand, Legion. Please post a picture of the stand with the razor that belongs to it when the razor is done.

    No, it is a katana. Two mekugi, leather tsuka-ito over same ray skin.

    This one is just a Hanwei sword. Quite well made for the price, though. I don't keep anything more expensive out on display. Got burgled once and learned my lesson.

    Might only be a hanwei, but the only one mistake in the Ito showing still looks fantastic compared to my build musashi...with a cotton ito...Good edge, nice temper, but cotton doesn't feel right.

    If you want to feel a nice ito have a look at the Hanwei Tori katana with the brown suede ito over black same. Sweet. It is a very pretty sword.

    Nice indeed.
    Currently I am in the process of remaking all my fittings.
    Right now I have 3 feet of hand braided sageo ready, with obviously a few feet to go, after this it's my own ito, then handle, same etc...
    I am far too busy the next four months to make much progress though.

    Either way, nice to know there are a few, I was going to say iadio'ists, but I shall simply say katana fans, in case the kendoists get stroppy...
    lol
