…I’ve been busy adding quite a few options in preparation for batch 19. And I must admit, I am pretty excited by what has just been readied..<\/p>\n

First off, the blog itself has been restructured slightly – you can sign up to be notified when there is a new post towards the top, there is a search box to the right which will search through both the site and the store for any SBG custom Katana related questions – the countdown to Batch 19 ticks away at the top of the blog, and quite a few other tweaks of one kind or another (better internal linking, a page with bigger pics of all the components, etc).<\/p>\n

But the real meat and potatoes added is a brand new page which lists no fewer than 80 new tsubas that we can source for an additional $20! Check them all out here:<\/p>\n

Special Order Tsuba List<\/a><\/p>\n

If that wasn’t enough, due to frequent requests, we have added two new major options to the extras line up – blade and tsuka extensions! (though not both, as to do so creates a sword that sticks out too much from the others and cannot be batched effectively).<\/p>\n

\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722958499530064546\"<\/a>
Tsuka’s from 12″ to 14″ long for those with big hands or who just prefer a longer handle, from $20 to $30 extra depending on length.<\/p>\n

\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722958814827393474\"<\/a>
Blades from 30″ to 33″ long (O-Katana) for an additional $20 per inch added.<\/p>\n

You can see both options listed at the bottom of the SBG Katana order page<\/a> here.<\/p>\n

Add all of the available options now together and I really have no idea just how many possible combinations there are! But no doubt about it, Batch 19 has more variety than ever before – I really look foward to seeing the designs people come up with!<\/p>\n

Ok, well, that’s enough for now – plenty more behind the scenes preparation that needs to be done over the next 4 and 1\/2 days to launch, and still several hundred emails to get around to, so sign up to the blog notifcation list to keep abreast of it all! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
