I like it they look nice! I like the green Ito and I like the tsuba. Also looks like the diamonds are very even. I bet you're excited right now!
Congratulations, Jon

Looks good so far. Is it T10 or 1095 steel? Did you order with niku or razor sharp?

Well I was almost going to have to post that my swords were lost in shipping, they arrived in my state 2 days ago and said they were delivered, but they weren't delivered to my house, submitted a claim and found out it was delivered to very similar address in a different city, they said they would try and track it down and hopefully get it back to me, well today the yellow box was sitting on my porch. The box was very cold as it sat outside for who knows how long at the wrong house until UPS found it and now I'll let the wood get used to a normal temperature and then do a review, the initial review of just looking everything over is both blades are rock solid, very minimal play in the ito, I'm spoiled by dragon king in this area, 2 tiny nicks in the saya of the katana and some sort of yellow gunk/dust next to one of the bamboo pegs on the wakizashi. Both of them have major saya rattle but I want to see how they changes after getting used to a warm temperature to see if those adjust.

Very nice looking swords, Eric! Yeah, the feats you describe are rather typical of Ryansword. Also, that shipping mess is awful! Good they managed to amend things your way! How are the swords now? Did the saya rattle go away?

Did the saya rattle go away? Very minimal saya rattle on the wakizashi, it improved a lot, the katana still has some, it has gotten better but it is noticeable still but for the price I'm not that upset, the blades are great and that is what matters.
