Have you noticed that in all the anime and even in the movies, when someone draws and puts the sword back into the Saya, there's a metallic sound as if the Koiguchi or the Saya were made of iron, which isn't true. Putting a katana back into its saya makes a wooden noise at most. After that, I suppose it's all for show. But it's very misleading.

Wow, I'm impressed by the sound your katana makes when it simply cuts through empty space. Mine does, but clearly not as loud. Maybe it's because the microphone is so close and the walls of the piece are so close, or maybe it's better technique (that's for sure :) ). I'll try again in a room smaller than my living room.

Menuki are the decorative additions to the Tsuka which give physical feeling of your Katana while you look at your enemy, you know where your hands are. Many swords have outstanding examples of art and craft. They also add to total quality of the sword, but not the quality of the blade. The blade is and always will be the value of the katana. Shogo is very wise for a young man. Peace and prosperity. サムライフィル
