I asked Hua Wei to buy a blade without the handle and scabbard via the "ask seller" option on eBay. Jacky replied to me and asked to send the money directly via PayPal. Has anyone else done this for custom orders, and was everything delivered?

I have bought five swords from Jacky, one of them a custom made to my specifications, and always paid up-front with PayPal. Never had any problem. PayPal will cover you should anything go wrong, but with Jacky you should be okay. Here is a picture of the sword he made for me. I asked Jacky to make a saya like some of the old Ronin Katana Elites and he did a splendid job. I love the light colored wood and the orange colored buffalo horn. Huawei can do a lot of things with customs.

I've bought 4 swords from Huawei now, all of which were custom jobs for which I paid Jacky directly. I've had no problems thus far with them coming through on their end (although, sometimes it takes a little longer than quoted). Jacky has always been quick to answer questions via email as well (the one exception being during the Chinese new year holiday...then its "bye bye" with no contact for 4-6 weeks!). Hope this helps!

Wait. How do we know all 5 of you aren't Jacky's sock puppets? I mean, I know some of you have been posting here longer than Huawei has been around, but that could just be the deep cover he built up for you so people wouldn't ask that question.

After much consideration on my end, I think Hua Wei should....
