This product has been over a year in the making..
Launched only yesterday, we already sold out of the 5 ELITE versions with Choji Hamon (more are on the way ealy next year) but the good news is we just got stock of the BO-HI version of the full basic custom option sword..
The main difference between the two models currently on offer is the Custom Tsuba and Saya Option model has a black ito handle wrap as standard, is $20 less and has slightly fewer saya options (only those that best match black ito handles). The FULL custom katana as it stands has the same blade, but more saya options and your choice of 8 tsuka colors too for just $20 more, so which one you choose depends on what look you are going for.
If you want a traditional black ito style sword and are focusing more on the tsuba you like, the Custom Tsuba and Saya Option is for you:
If on the other hand you want to change out everything and want blue, red, white, gold, purple, green or brown ito and a matching saya style to go with it, well the standard Ryujin Custom Katana is the one you will need to get:
We will have the solid bodied versions coming in late December and a restock of the Choji hamon ELITE katana early next year, so in the meantime – if you have no idea what all the fuss is about, you will probably want to read our latest site review on SBG here.
Happy Customizing!
