Matt Bramble –
Sword arrived last week at my house. Straight out of the box the saya is well done as well is the tsuka. They are both well fit and tight. However the habaki and seppa were so loose as rattle and easily moved. Was in correspondence with Jamie from Reliks and was advised to disassemble and reassemble. After completing that it tightened the seppa however the habaki still had a bit of movement. I am disappointed in the quality of the fittings as compared to my Paul Chien and Ronin dojo pro which were both a good deal cheaper. The blade however as well as the tsuba are quite impressive.
