I just received a customized sword from Master Yao and it is absolutely amazing. I had requested a fairly unique, perhaps uncommon style of 9260 steel katana (practically a ko-katana) in shobu zukuri sugata. The 61cm blade complements the 30cm tsuka very well and because of the style of sugata, this blade is very fast. It may not be practical for iaito but because of where I live and how I must defend myself, this is a very practical, simple and functional sword. Most importantly is the quality and kindness that Master Yao provides. He communicates very well and the craftsmanship is excellent. I was expecting the customized forging process to take months, maybe even a year but he provided within weeks. Everything I had asked for he was able to do and do it very well. If you are looking for a truly customized blade, this is the forge to go with. I do not have a lot of money and I'm from a poor and violent area but I was able to save and afford a sword that I will be able to cherish and defend myself (if need be) for many many years. Thank you Master Yao again for outstanding quality.
