If I can help in making you satisfied with the purchase, please let me know. Hi there, While I was aware of the mekugi peg itself needing replacement (and I have already added one), what was also missing was one of the reinforcement pieces around it. For what it is I am still happy with it, but I just think that this should have been shown or mentioned is all. I have also touched up the polish to lessen some of the minor scratches, so that is not a very big deal. Thank you. Shooting you a PM to make sure you end up satisfied

The sword arrived, but rather noticeably is missing one of the square horn pieces that reinforces the makugi hole in the tsuka. The blade also has a fairly respectable amount of scuffs along the shinogi that make me think that the blade is less than brand new. Overall not bad for the price, but there are definitely some things that I think should have been expressed more clearly in the photos/item description. I think I can get most of them out with some careful polishing, but the damaged tsuka is a bit irksome. If I can help in making you satisfied with the purchase, please let me know.

Also blade is 100% brand new.

2, three tier mythrojan sword stands. One has beige felt and one has dark blue felt. I added the felt to each layer of the stand myself. These are substantial and 100 times better than the usual flimsy sword stands found for cheap. I believe they're made in Europe. I want to sell both as a set for 50 shipped. Two for the price of one essentially. I take zelle and cashapp! Thanks!

Very cool messer. Are the antler scales original to the build? They are indeed original. European red stag.

Thanks! And I know you stated the fit and finish is tight, but I wanted to ask if you've used it to cut at all or if it's been a display piece? Just display display all day of you will

Very nice! I wanted to ask about the sharpness. Did you have KoA sharpen it? I see the stats say unsharpened but I understand that may have been a copy-paste Like the avatar btw
