Sword Customizations

Is your sword not quite right for you?  If you want to change the balance or just make it easier to find on the dojo sword rack - we can help.  If the specific customization is not listed here, just email us at info@nihonzashi.com to get a quote.  We will also be glad to give you advice if you want to tackle the job yourself.  Customizations take a minimum of 4 to 8 weeks and lacquer finishes take an extra 4 to 6 weeks to cure.
