Graham,

That was awesome. Thanks for posting that.

Now I know how they do it, I'll go and make my own Takahashi.

I'm into Japanese swords so I know about craftmanship and this is definitely it!!

The Japanese do treat certain things as an art not just another mass produced item.

Trevor you're absolutely right, they do certainly take a lot of care !!
The Tak gear is no exception, it's just wonderful to behold.
