I had long resisted making a cleaning kit available at the SBG Sword Store, mostly because I had had so many bad experiences with just how USELESS the vast majority you get free with a sword (its NOT FREE, as an experienced\u00a0sword seller – and buyer –\u00a0I know whatever free items that have been have been factored into the final price and I am definitely paying for) or pick up on ebay for $20, really are.<\/p>\n
I mean, none of the materials are authentic, 90% of the time the oil is dried out, the box broken, the thread on the mekugi-nuki hammer gone so it spins everytime you try to use it..<\/p>\n
99% OF JAPANESE SWORD CLEANING KITS OUT THERE ARE A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The ONLY exception I would recommend to people who could not be bothered making their own sword cleaning kit for FREE<\/a> (or almost free, just depends on what you have laying around in the garage already) was this Hanwei Sword cleaning Kit – simply because, it was decent quality and the components –\u00a0actually useable! (shock horror – think of the difference between a stainless steel wallhanger and a fully functional sword and you get the idea of the quality variation).<\/p>\n
So when listing some new swords the question came up – why not make it available? After all, a lot of people like the convenience of a decent ready made kit,\u00a0there really was no reason\u00a0not to\u00a0make them available…<\/p>\n
