A kwaiken/Hamidashi custom

[The sharpend]

I'm currently awaiting the last few touches to a custom kwaiken , which turned into a Hamidashi .
Magnolia scabbard , forged blade with clay Hamon black lacquered scabbard , with black lacquerd rayskin.
It will have red/black silk from Japan and has arsenious ? copper for the fittings , made from pennies dating to 1792 .
Its a very well made piece by a uk maker Lemmythesmith I can't post pics but can link to the wip , if anybody could post the pics , I'd be very appreciative .

I'm not sure if this is for makers only or to show all customs owned as well as made so if mods want to move apologies for placing it here .
Please take a look any feed back would be gratefully received thanks fellas .

Thanks , me too as I'd be looking at a matching Katana or O katana which would clean me right out .
The makers attention to detail , and keeping it traditional whilst adding a few methods of his own is great .
ATB thanks Rolf .
