Hi Rick, I just wanted to thank you personally for sending the order off so quickly. Monika was very happy to have her new bokken with tsuba! Hope you had a very merry holiday season and all the best for 2011! Regards, Bryce PS. We met at the Gasshuku in Guadarama - Canadian male, jodo beginner in Elke's club =)

Comments for your store: I think your store is really unique in its way. The items it has, can only be found in this shop and are characterized by a finesse in choice rarely met in today's bulk buying e-shops. Combining this with a very helpful service, it makes it one of the best in the internet. Please bring more items!!! Thank you...

Comment: I think you need better close up pictures of each of your fittings. And for your saya, you need a full length shot, a close up of the surface and possible the koiguchi. It is also not clear what is meant by silver fittings upgrade. I guess the basic is silver plated copper. Or is it silver plated brass? And the upgraded version is solid silver? Is that real silver or some alloy. If you could be more clear about that, that would be great. Are your tsuba iron or alloy? That's not clear

To All At CET/Swordstore: I am a former customer; I purchased a practice iaito from you approximately 11 years ago. It was then, and is now, a beautiful piece, and has been a pleasure to work with. The service I received from Rick Polland was exceptional, and the final product was one I was proud to show to many friends and classmates....and I have recommended your store to many people over the years. While up in my dojo working with my sword this evening, I thought about your smiths and you

Hi Rick, Last wednesday I wore my new outfit for the first time - perfect fit and feeling!, I really like it. I am looking forward to see the iaito. It´s a pity that sweden got so high customs duty - $65!!, but I understand there is nothing to do about that...? Regards, John - Leather tsuba guy
