Hi Rod,

SOrry the delayed response I have had very limited access to my emails. The iaito arrived on Friday and it's absolutely bloody brilliant. Extremely happy with the results. Thank you once again for your patience and hard work with the border agencies of both countries, your efforts will not go to waste as I win gold after gold with this thing.

Thanks once again,

Richard

Hi Rod

I have never seen anything so awesome in my life. My entire office surrounded me when I toke out the gold bag from the box, they all new this was something special.

It feels amazing, luckily we have a big yard at work for all the our skips so I have plenty of room to test the the 'swosh'. The weight is perfect. My cut looks and feels so much better using a real blade. Now I can hear when my cuts are not perfect as the audible tone is very distinctive and changes depending on well your drawing and cutting. i was a little concerned that choosing the 29" would be a touch too long but I was very wrong......it's perfect.

The photos on your site really don't do your Iaito justice. This is a beautiful piece of art that will be proudly displayed when not in my obi.

I am actually struggling to put into words how happy I am right now so I'm going back outside for some practice.

Rod thank you so much. You've made another human being very happy and that's not easy to do these days....keep it up and the world will be a much better place.

I will be coming back one day for more, you can count in that.

Take care
Ian

Just to let you know the iato has arrived safe and sound. It was packed so securely and when it was unwrapped it was a sight to behold. The saya is beautifully highly glossed and the sword has a lovely weight to it. The blade has the most amazing pattern from the folded steel and the composition as a whole is truly amazing. Callum is lost for words and his only comment is that he never thought he would ever be able to own such a work of art. Many thank for pulling out all the stops in having it delivered in record time. It is really appreciated. A shinken for me is on the agenda next year and I would not go anywhere else as the service from yourself and the workmanship of the iato is unbelievable.

Once again thank you

Regards
