Hey there folks, long time no post :) Concentrating on catching up with customer back logs, working with a few companies, and learning new things :) Was going to use this blade to practice polishing before I learn to forge, butttt as always, bills bills bills... So this Hanwei Tsunami wakizashi got a fully make over. -Reworked original habaki -Made new seppa with a traditional rokusho patina. -reworked original tsuka to a full wrap of samegawa -Antique fuchi in maple leaves and wave theme. -Antique menuki in Tiger theme -New hand carved horn kashira -Saya was reworked and given HAND CARVED ribbing (this took 13 hours!) for the first third then a lacquered and polished or "samesaya" finish on the lower two thirds. She has new hand carved horn koiguchi, kurigata, and kojiri -New and fitted simple iron tsuba that I gave a traditional black patina and sealed in wax. Priced just to cover materials and not even all the labor on the saya ;) $575 Shipped $500 $375 Shipped CONUS, Please add any paypal fee's when applicable.
Thanks everyone! Cheers, Sal' of Jizamurai Customs

That looks absolutely killer. I wanted to let you know that it's now mandatory to add an image of the sale item with an accompanying note showing your username and the current date. We know you're a straight shooter, but it's now a rule. Sorry for the hassle. Thanks.

Thanks, Salvatori. I appreciate it.
Yep, it's unfortunate. Feels kind of slimy to ask long time members with fantastic selling histories to do stuff like this, but too many a-holes have been showing up and we needed to crack down.

Police away, people need to feel safe on here :) I haven't been active in a while and there are new members added to the forums daily who don't know me :)

Bump and price drop to $500 folks! As a craftsman I would literally do the saya work alone for what I'm charging for this!

I appreciate it; the sale of this was sped up to fund additional testing my sick shepherd needs to find out how to treat him, I really hope it doesn't take that long lol :/

SOLD! Needed this gone today to minimally cover bills. This literally sold for just $225 locally. Someone should have a least put in an offer :).

I didn't wanna feel like a semprini low-balling that much. Should've. Someone got a great deal.
