My custom made O-Katana from Hanbon forge ....
That was my order:
I want to order:

Measured myself: Motokasane 9,08mm, Sakikasane 6,75mm
handle length 12"/30cm-31cm
Niku blade without hi/no Bohi--> the blade needs niko for heavy cutting(bamboo, thick rolled tatami, branches, etc...)

HABAKI / SEPPA: H01: brass
Sword Bag (free): B04: Dragon&phoe..
Its my biggest O-Katana so far, with 85,5cm nagasa length, and a overall length over 120cm.
Its a big beefy heavy blade, but seems indestructable
On picture two, there is a standard length 1060 blade, also from Hanbonforge, for kissaki comparison to see.
It also has the new Tsuba set with the dragon on it, i found it visually very interesting.
And here the kissaki shapes in comparison:
It has full Samegawa wrap with Hishigami in synthetic silk Dark blue.
I am surprised in a very positive way, with the quality of Hanbonforge.
No Saya rattle, the sword doesnt slide out of the saya, even if holding it upside down.
The wrap of the tsuka is very tight, no tsuba rattle or anything like it.
And my specs i wanted with ordering the blade, are hit nearly 100%.
Here is a picture with the weight of the katana:
