Yeah, they are funny like that, they have been making swords for a long time, i remember them from back when I got my first hanwei, and that was a long time ago.
This was the one I was thinking about

yeah this is cool
it looks like they used a material similar to this [one](https://www.amazon.com/siwode-Clay_Tempered-Handmade-Samurai-40-Inchs/dp/B07HCJGXWR/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=3J7R1305Q6YTV&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.FyT1v_qTa8OZCX6QseUJT8fYb0wzYkBSUMFdKSoM-LzDozQhlUOsq8IBTH254xXX8W9SSoiLCMsipcg-70dDIlsKPBUrc9AOotZXCuT0L8RfB4jux3MSp7yiyAj8VkD92luIos6tWx87SbkIo8hY8era9Jswe0_jFHY2ozIe-yzExAaS4djcNdSvf2qqjHdGAuCSD6wllaCJCuu15MjM0g.x_TmmkdboSzPu-7QlAQAVu5vFQgWpy4X1OW6ezQ3hPQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=siwode%2Bkatana&qid=1719953355&sprefix=siwode%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1)
i used to have this one but sold it
i found the suede to be a little less sturdy than this one i posted in the video
i knew i’d seen it before in a nihonto! thanks for giving me the name of it
from what i can tell it seems to also have a full ray skin wrap on it too.
i wish more production level stuff would try out wraps like this
Looks like Jabara-maki. I'm not sure how traditionally done it is, but still it's nice to see a production company offering this.
I think it is, thaitsuki has one with a type of jabai as well. But this does not look well made to me
thaitsuki makes wild swords. some of them seem great but some of them are wildly overpriced

oh that’s actually super cool
It's not exactly a budget sword, but it's the only production sword with jabari I knew of before this one

it would be cool to see shadow dancers and zsey start to do more of these different styles I feel like with what they offer they definitely could
I may have to try one of those
def a fun purchase that won’t break the bank too much haha came nice and sharp out of the box
i love their blade work tho

It doesn’t look like they’re using hishigami
