In the voice of Borat, “very nice.”

That's pretty. Don't normally go for wild hamon, but this blade is too nice, overall, to fuss over hamon.
Are you just getting the blade or what plans do you have for mounting?

Said sunday they were waiting for the samegawa to dry, and to check two days later, so ill be sending them a message today. Hamon is wild but not necessarily a historical, although its definitely more of a shinto thing lol

Gotcha. Wasn't sure if you had plans with someone else or to mount it yourself. Looking forward to the finished product.

Very, VERY nice! Would you say that Z-Sey is a good replacement for Huawei, now than Huawei is so inactive?

That hamon looks beautiful. I also just ordered my own customized sword from them, which will be my first katana purchase in over a decade. Very excited, based off what what I've seen of their work.
Looking forward to reading your impressions of how it looks in person

Looking forward to reading your impressions of how it looks in person What specifications did you order? Also they shipped it earlier today(tracking not updated bc its like midnight there) Nice! I basically just made some alterations to their latest iteration of the Tuoyuan (with the white copper fittings), since I kinda of fell in love with the look of that polish on their suguha hamon in various YT reviews. I changed the menuki style, changed the ito + sageo to a red wine color, and upgraded to their large nodule samegawa. I'm also considering adding the tsuba shown below after I get it, since I feel it does a good job tying together the fuchi-kashira fret pattern with the floral menuki (though the standard one also looks pretty good, I think). This is my quickly photoshopped concept: EDIT: fixed a typo
