    Custom built Iaito just for you :D

    hello reader of this post,
    i found a website which allows you to pick and choose from various tsuba, grips, blades and much more- to create your own iaito, personal i think its a tad expensive, but if you can afford it, i think its a good idea

    Unallowed advertising?

    Anyway, I've seen better and cheaper offers für iaitos.

    The majority of iaito dealers already allow for this level of customization. What makes this one different?

    Come on... "hello reader of this post"? Sounds like a bot, to me.

    Judging from his other post, he is just a kid that found something he thought was interesting and shared it. Token Mino has been around for a while, but I much prefer Nishijin myself.

    That's the way to go as long as you're lucky enough to have someone that can go to Seki and get it for you!

    I have lots of photos of their factory. It was a great trip. I'm ready to order a new one in November when I'm there.
