Hey guys. I have this up for grabs. I've had it for over a year and haven't really used it. It was a custom order with my custom specs. I requested the blade be wider than normal. Width at habaki is 35mm wide and 29-30mm at yokote. Despite this, it's still light and fast feeling while having a substantial feel. It has all the typical pros and cons you would expect from Sinosword, like rough fit and finish and when I first got it the saya was tight but I guess the wood has settled in so it's became very loose. But a thin shim will tighten it well. But it's overall nice for the price. The only thing to note is I did test cut with it, to make sure it's safe to use. I cut some thick branches so there is a bit of a cosmetic blemish just under the yokote. But no edge damage. Specs: 19 inch blade with habaki, 8.5 inch handle, 8mm thick blade at habaki, 5mm at tip. Green leather wrap, hishigami, black rayskin, real iron fittings instead of the zinc alloy stuff. Asking only 180 shipped. This was about 240 when I ordered it plus like 8 months wait time since they screwed up the order twice before the third time lol.
