We just closed off on batch 39 of the SBG Custom Katana, due 17th of August – and have opened up Batch 40 accordingly. Batch 37 is now in the final stages of assembly, all the blades have been done and once assembled should ship by the end of the month and start to arrive in Canada for inspection and final shipping in June as scheduled (though I have been told that bad weather in Longquan and across China generally is causing delays with saya drying times on pretty much everything there and at many other forges, though hopefully it will not slow things down too much on batch 37 and batch 38).
You can check the status of the most recent batches here (just updated).
Additionally, because we now have 3 brands of custom katana and each one is similar but ultimately very different, we added a new page to our blog “Custom Katana – Similarities and Differences” here
