Sword and Weapon 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.
