mike yeon Posted October 19, 2006 Report Posted October 19, 2006 Has anyone here had dealings with Aoi-art as far as polishing services? I know they have a pretty solid overall reputation. I'd be grateful if anyone can detail their experiences with them polishing or otherwise. Thanks. mike Quote
pcfarrar Posted October 19, 2006 Report Posted October 19, 2006 I've had a few swords done by Aoi now. Cheap (very low handling fees) and reliable. I have also begun to use Sumie Kashima for polishing: http://www.ksky.ne.jp/~sumie99/ The customer service Usagiya provide is simply excellent. Very prompt replies to all emails, they let you know whats happening at every stage. I can't recommend them enough. Quote
mike yeon Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Posted October 19, 2006 Thank you Peter. I've always used quality US polishers. But I've recently purchased a bunch of blades (when it rains it pours) and I need to spread out the work or I'm looking at 6 years before I see my last blade finished. mike Quote

mike yeon Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Posted October 19, 2006 Part of me wishes it were not the case. (After the 3rd blade in 2 months, I had to buy my girlfriend a $1600 gucci bag to keep her quiet about the thousands I've spent on "pieces of dirty old metal") Can't pass up great deals though. Carlo, as soon as she finds out how much the polish will cost I'm going to need you to stage an armed robbery of the Fendi factory over in Italy. mike Quote

Glad to help you. One of my shops sells Fendi bags and shoes and assurance will cover the loss. I own only the walls, not the selling activity so it'll not bother me... but my tenant for sure...:D Quote
