In celebration of milestone events (weddings,  births, etc.), Andrea and I have made a tradition of gifting items from our collection to close friends and family. 

Here's a project that I recently finished for just such an event.... We are sending a friend and his wife this 19th-century Japanese sword (late Edo/ShinShinto).  The blade has an old polish.  The saya is mostly in its original condition, but I had to rebuild the tsuka (handle), and I was able to find an older Higo style tsuba (guard) with his wife's family crest. I also used ito (silk braid) and menuki (hilt ornaments) that they selected and reflected their interest.

Here are few pics, let me know what you think.
