Thread: Sword stand for my straight

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

Yeah. I play kendo. We are a stroppy bunch.
