Sword porn! that's what my wife calls it when I look at sword stuff and this site in particular, but in this case she would be right that's sword porn. I like it! seriously, good job. non-traditional but attractive I think you've done a fine job. +1 for good taste, good work, and weathering blistering attacks.

Nice job. You are not the only one who thinks carbon fiber looks good on a katana. I also really like the tsuba, and not just in the "sword porn" kind of way.

Yeah I guess it is sword porn, but it is art and has very good detail. You can see all the little bits and pieces even on the menuki. I wish I could have figured out how to finish wrapping it the traditional way but I couldn't make heads or tails of how to do it. So I improvised from what I could see and threw a nice knot in and the end.

that's ok V, just keep looking at the on line tutorials and play with it from time to time eventually it will become clear. I agree it's beautiful art not just sword porn. not really porn at all but I couldn't resist saying that since my wife often says "oh, looking at sword porn again".

Is that real carbon fiber or a adhesive decal?

It is just a decal I bought, still looks good. Since you brought it up I am when the money is right having the scabbard done in real carbon fiber from some people that do hydro immersion.

I remember seeing artsfeng's porn set.... I believe my remark that moment was " What the.... is that?.... yeah, it is..... (laughing) Oh hell no...... hillarious!"
I want the whole furniture set, but I don't think I could keep a straight face if I ever mounted it to a sword.

How did that spray laquer work for you? I was wondering about that stuff. I like the look you went with on your sword, nice job!

Good work! I too like the sword porn, ;D but I'm not really feeling the carbon fiber. The second sword is awesome!

The spray lacquer worked well, the imperfections in the wood show up but otherwise it is a smooth surface.
