It is PROBABLY too late for Christmas to get one of these delivered in time (unless you order a Ryujin Custom Katana and live close to California – the elves at the Ryujin workshop have gone into overdrive and have been assembling and sending out swords within 48 hours recently instead of the usual week!) but Christmas aside for a moment – just a quick update on our current two main custom Katana lines.
First off, the elite level Forge Direct Custom Katana now has the O-Katana as a separate product in its own right.
The reason for this is two fold:
- I was not comfortable with the necessary price fluctuation on the Custom Katana to make it an O-Katana. The idea was to have ONE flat rate price regardless of your customization choices OR where you live in the world, but we simply could not offer an O-katana for the price of a standard length Katana, so made it a break away product in its own right and..
- It became apparant that it was not always feasible for the O-Katana to have every saya made that can be offered for the standard Katana line. The reason is that the saya come from a third party saya specialist provider, and we could not afford to buy in bulk every type of saya as they don’t deal in single quantity orders. Additionally, the time frame of the O-Katana is about 2 weeks longer than the standard Katana. So we changed the saya options, info – and dropped the price from just over to just under $1000..
WIth the Ryujin custom Katana line, we added 2 new saya options:
New Option 1: Gun Metal Grey
Saya Option 2: Matt Dark Red
And finally, the Gold ito wrap is back in stock if you want to get regal with it.
