Thank you for your e-mail, in order to answer your questions, there is no hamon on the blade because it is not a clay heat treatment.
This selective quenching forms the quench line (hamon).
This is guaranteed by our supplier, it is a handcrafted product and of course, as it is not an industrial calibrated machine, it may have some aesthetic imperfections which do not change its technical capabilities.

We apologize for the poor finish of the braiding on the tip of the handle. All braided by hand.
To do this, the blacksmith uses several types of rope, and each katana piece is unique. That's why we have different finishes.

We can see that the rope is thinner and much less quality than when you compare it with your model, braided with a thicker and higher quality rope, your model will look more spectacular than the model pictured on our website.
As for braiding the handle, it goes without saying that when braided with a thicker rope, the finish (seen from above) looks thicker, as with any traditional katana.
Below, you can see a photo of the front, then the top, of a thin rope, which at first glance appears flat, but which is actually in relief when viewed from above :
We can also see the traditional knot on the top, this knot is thicker on your model because of the higher quality rope.

For the finish of the braid, I can offer you a 50€ refund or a 80€ credit note valid in the store on a commercial gesture.
If none of the offers above suit you we apologize, as a last resort we can kindly invite you to return it to us in accordance with our general conditions of sale, and we will be able to exchange it with another with a lower quality braid.
Either they keep the first payment and you don't pay the remaining three and keep this thing, or they pay for a return label and give you the money back.
KR,
Kami.
