 (Compare at $2500 to $3,000)    Bargain priced at only  $1,295.00

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

PACKAGE # 2,  'The works' plus 'Sword polishing'

This package includes everything in Package # 1 plus having your sword polished.

 $1,950 to $2,200 (compare at $4,000 to $7,000)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

PACKAGE # 3, complete handle replacement

Our 'HANDLE PACKAGE' consists of a new wood 'core' professionally carved to fit the sword tang, next, a wide piece of Stingray skin is wrapped around the wood core with a slight 'overlapping' of the skin. When it dries, the skin will shrink and it conforms tightly to the wood core.  The Stingray skin we use (traditional) is 'rawhide' and the 'full wrap' produces a handle that is just about 'bullet proof' and it is guaranteed by us not to split, break or be easily damaged under the most difficult of conditions.  In all cases, the 'full wrap' produces a handle that is tougher than any other method of handle construction.  Lastly, the handle is professionally wrapped with your choice of either non-stretch Leather, Silk or TSUNAMI cord.  When wrapping is complete, a new Bamboo peg in installed and everything it right, tight and ready for combat.

You supply the Menuki & Fuchi Kashira, we do the rest..  

Compare at $1,000 . . . on 'special' for only $450

Black colored Stingray skin (if requested in advance) is FREE with this package.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

PACKAGE # 4   Handle wrapping

If your handle wrapping cord or the Kashira is loose or if you tired of the old cord and just want a new color, this package is for you.  We remove the old wrapping, securing the metal parts if needed and tightly wrap the handle with your choice of Silk, leather or Tsunami.  If your cord is loose or if any parts need to be replaced, now is the best time to have it done.  International: Add $20 for Global Priority Mail.

Only $195   Compare at $300 to $400
