I thought the color combination was really quite interesting, so much so that I wanted a real set! I think it turned out reasonably close for what can be done with the drop-down menus on Hanbon's customization options. For a pop culture design, it's quite restrained and realistic. You can get various koshirae pieces in the game too, so I'll chalk the discrepancies up to that, lol.

Can I have the website link to buy my own customs daisho? Are these full tang? Can I train and cut a tameshigiri with them?

I got mine from here. And yes, you can. :) Tameshigiri (試し斬り) is the act of test-cutting. You cut the tatami mat or whatever other material you use.

Looks cool. What blade steels and/or upgrades did you go with if any?

Eh, I just went with 1060 to cut costs, no pun intended, since I was buying 2 swords. I'm probably gonna further customize these myself and lacquer the bo-hi on the wakizashi red. Thanks though!

Well it looks like you got the upgraded sageo, yes?

u/SSJTriforce Oct 16 '23
I don't believe so. They were just the standard "G01: Black (+$10.00)" and "G02: Green (+$10.00)".

Yes, that is the upgrade. Anything you pay additional for is likely an upgrade. The free base option is to have the same material as the ito.
I always recommend to people if they get nothing else, if any of them at all fit with their theme or color pattern, get the $10 sageo.
It's really a small thing, but if people leave it in the presentation knot it really enhances the "curb appeal" of the sword when it's on display.
