Review for Tsukamaki services:
The following are katana's I have had Tsukamaki done on.
Cottontail Customs.
Nihonzashi
Student of War Customs x 3
Randy Black
____________________________________
1. Cottontail Customs. Silk Blood red with mirror core repairs. On a Hanwei Practical Plus Elite Katana.
2. Nihonzashi. Cotton green With new core and samegawa panels. On a Feilong Iwa Shobu Katana.
3. Student of War Customs: Light brown nubuck. On a Hanwei Practical Special Katana. New Ronin Tsuka.
4. Student of War Customs: Reshape of a Hanwei Raptor Katana, Shinogi Zukuri.
5. Student of War Customs. Dark brown nubuck with new Fuchi & Kahira & Tsuba On a like new made core, from another katana. On a Ronin Dojo Pro Katana Model #10 ko katana.
6. Randy Black. Silk Sliver Green With new core and samegawa panels, even though I paid for a full wrap of samegawa. On a Musashi Alex Zheng Masurao katana.

In my opinion Nihonzashi made the best new cores.
Best Tsukamaki wrap is Cottontail Customs.
Student of War customs. Better than what I have seen on many new made katana's like Hanwei. And he is getting better at his wraps.
Randy Black is a bit of a strange one to deal with. His Tsukamaki is excellent. Folowing directions not so good. Ask for 11 inches and end up with 10 3/4 inches. Pay for a full wrap of samegawa, and he does panels instead. You must have a referral from one of his current good standing customers. Complain or have any sort of issue and he will never talk to you again.
