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..<\/li>\n<li>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&#8217;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 &#8211; and dropped the price from just over to just under $1000..<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/product691.html\">Check it out HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>WIth the Ryujin custom Katana line, we added 2 new saya options:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1258\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1258\" class=\"wp-image-1258 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T920411201601113844.jpg\" alt=\"t920411201601113844\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T920411201601113844.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T920411201601113844-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T920411201601113844-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T920411201601113844-624x468.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New Option 1: Gun Metal Grey<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1259\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1259\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1259\" src=\"https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T920321201601092734.jpg\" alt=\"Saya Option 2: Matt Dark Red\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T920321201601092734.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T920321201601092734-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T920321201601092734-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T920321201601092734-624x468.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1259\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Saya Option 2: Matt Dark Red<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And finally, the Gold ito wrap is back in stock if you want to get regal with it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1260\" src=\"https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T940166201601113928.jpg\" alt=\"t940166201601113928\" width=\"1697\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T940166201601113928.jpg 1697w, https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T940166201601113928-300x55.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T940166201601113928-768x142.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T940166201601113928-1024x189.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/T940166201601113928-624x115.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1697px) 100vw, 1697px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sbg-sword-store.sword-buyers-guide.com\/ryujin-swords.html\">Check out the full Ryujin Custom Katana line up HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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 &#8211;
