They jammed the habaki deep into the saya making it very hard to remove exacerbated by the lack of a mekugi pin to keep the handle in place, so that was my second unboxing!
As I was posting the video, I worried about copyright infringement or something similar but the music just happened to be playing in the background ('Wooden Ship' from East Wind by Uttara Kuru)
Really lovely piece of work, looks like a quality live blade, and I enjoyed the careful but hand-packaged quality of it, so kudos to the customs agent as well.
