Beautiful! Do you know what how he did the wrap? I know one way to do it but this one looks a little different.

Phew! Dare we ask the price? It's a lovely lookin' specimen, and functional jian are a complex blade from everything I've read.

Thanks guys!
I was the guinea pig for his endeavor. I will ask him or get him to answer your question directly.

Can't get hold of him. Come to think of it, today is the eve of Chinese Lunar New Year. Probably they won't come back to work until Feb.
