I recently ordered a daisho from Sinosword, as I did not find the perfect fit for my taste on the market. Most swords with an appealing sugata would need a koshirae rework or the other way around. So with help of this forum I got knowledge of sinosword and decided to go Custom with them, as I will never be able to afford a custom masterpiece by an american smith or either an japanese one.
So here is what I did send them for a quote.

So it's a shobu daito along with a kanmuri-otoshi ko-katana as a shoto.
50 days later Mr. Kane from Sino did send me these pics. Looking pretty neat, uh?
What do you think?
The swords are now on the way from China to Germany. I will post a Review as soon as they arrive.
