This one is for one of our customers, Dax Chee, who previously purchased a Sakabatou Katana last July 2010. And then he ordered a custom katana but our forge made a mistake in wrapping the tsuka. Dax wanted it wrapped in katatemaki (battle wrap) style, but it was wrapped in hinerimaki instead. So we had to re-wrap it for him.
