So, this happened... Daryl Kyle from Point Gallery finished my Highlander Musashi (Duncan's) katana. Been doing a little bit of kata to feel it out, so far, so good. Blade is from a brand new Kaneie Yama no Kumo (Mountain Spider) I had before Kaneie and CAS Iberia spit ways.

And the best thing? It's dismountable! Yes, Daryl figured out a way to have me be able to dismount the tsuka from the blade and be able to use the original fittings without compromising strength in the build.

NOT FOR SALE! Please don't ask me to sell this to you because I won't - this is a part of my personal collection, have been wanting one for years and finally was able to get it built.

Here's a link to my photo album on Google Photos

I hope it brings you many years of enjoyment. The tsuka carvings are exquisite. How does it feel in the hand, though? Like your grip is secure, not slippery, or anything like that?

I haven't used it much, but my initial impressions are that the tsuka is a tad thinner than I'm used to (don't worry, I'll get used to it, lol). The tsuka feels solid in hand, doesn't feel slick at all because of the engravings on the side pannels, but then again, I did not spend hours doing kata - it was a short session of about 5-10 minutes. Other than that, I haven't done any cutting, so can't say how it's going to feel (vibrations, etc) when that happens.
