Hanwei Tonbo Daisho
The koshirae on this daisho, besides the menuki, are of wonderful quality. It's hard to believe they are cast fittings. (correct me if I'm wrong) Features genuine silk ito, sageo and geometric yokote. Polish is in excellent shape with no signs of rust or scratches. These swords have just been sitting on my wall, except for testing how they feel in the hand. I have never cut with either of them.
The katana is stout and has a fairly hefty presence in the swing, with the classic Hanwei axe handle feeling tsuka. Saya has some rattle present but good retention. (I'll fix the rattle for you if you wish)
The wakizashi is light and fast with a much thinner blade. The tsuka has a rikko shape to it and features above average samegawa nodes on the omote side. No saya rattle present and with good retention.
