  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

My first sword - O-Wakizashi WIP

Thanks Dave.

So here it is with the tsuka redone. It's still large but there's no way I could've taken more away without altering the nakago. The real culprit is the ito.
I bought it along with the ray skin and the fittings from a single source on ebay. Looking back, I bought 12mm !!!! ito. It's very stretchy but what I lose in width adds to thickness.

Anyway, it feels much better and I think there's a much better flow.

Oh man that looks much better man!

Let me know if you want me to send you some sources for better quality samegawa and ito. As well as koshirae (Fuchi,Kashira, Menuki), although I will warn you they are EXPENSIVE easily $200-$300 for a set~
 
Thanks and it's your favourite, Morozori! :D

Actually if you could send me those sources, I'd appreciate it.
 
One absolutely beautiful piece of craftsmanship Bro, WELL DONE!!! Thanks for the labor and time of the pics as well.
