This procedure will determine the authenticity (make, model, &amp; year) of the sword. There are several different outcomes of this procedure. In fact, some swords can be unsigned and still be of very high quality. </span> <br class="style20"><br class="style20"> <span class="style20">Typically a sword needs the handle (tsuka) rewrapped, or the same-gawa (stringray skin) cleaned or replaced. Sometimes the grip ornaments (menuki) need to be refitted or the tsuba (hand guard) needs to be tightened and/or cleaned or completely changed out for personal reasons. And lastly the owner of a sword may wished to have the scabbard (saya) refinished. </span> <br class="style20"> <img alt="" class="style20" height="237" src="images/katana.gif" style="float: right" width="152"><br class="style20"> <span class="style20">Also, our service is pleased to offer minor Togi (polishing) for those individuals wishing to clean and preserve their blades. However, sword owners should be aware that major sword polishing such as Nami-Togi (basic polish), Sashikomi-Togi (finger stone polish), Jo-Togi (high class polish), and Saiji-Togi (superior polish) are both expensive and time consuming, but they are available. </span> <br class="style20"><br class="style20"> <span class="style20">And finally, our service will buy wooden scabbards and katanas themselves from owners wishing to sell their swords. Individuals seeking more information can do so during normal open hours, however these services are preferably handled by appointment only to determine the costs of repairs. Inspection usually takes from 3-5 days.</span></p> </td> </tr> </table> </tr> </table> <!-- this is a message from footer.inc> <table border="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0"> <tr> <td><h3 class="style23"> <marquee scrolldelay="0" scrollamount="4" class="style15" style="width: 909" >1976 - 2012 Anniversary *** 36 YEARS *** of Excellence...</marquee></h3></td> </tr> </table> <table width="589" border="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0"> <tr> <td align="center"> <table border="0" CELLPADDING="5" CELLSPACING="0" align="center" style="width: 631px"> <tr> <td align="center"> <a href="index.html"> <img id="img1" alt="Home" fp-style="fp-btn: Soft Capsule 5" fp-title="Home" height="27" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'buttonA.jpg')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'button8.jpg')" onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'button9.jpg')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'button9.jpg')" src="button8.jpg" style="border: 0" width="136"></a><span class="style12"> <a href="getst.htm"> <img id="img2" alt="Getting Started" fp-style="fp-btn: Soft Capsule 5" fp-title="Getting Started" height="27" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img2',/*url*/'buttonD2.jpg')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img2',/*url*/'buttonB10.jpg')" onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img2',/*url*/'buttonC10.jpg')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img2',/*url*/'buttonC10.jpg')" src="buttonB10.jpg" style="border: 0" width="136"></a> <a href="class.htm"> <img id="img3" alt="Class Prices and times" fp-style="fp-btn: Soft Capsule 5" fp-title="Class Prices and times" height="27" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'button32.jpg')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'buttonE10.jpg')" onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'buttonF10.jpg')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'buttonF10.jpg')" src="buttonE10.jpg" style="border: 0" width="136"></a> <a href="system.htm"> <img id="img4" alt="Founding Systems" fp-style="fp-btn: Soft Capsule 5" fp-title="Founding Systems" height="27" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img4',/*url*/'button34.jpg')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img4',/*url*/'button114.jpg')" onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img4',/*url*/'button33.jpg')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img4',/*url*/'button33.jpg')" src="button114.jpg" style="border: 0" width="136"></a> <a href="about.htm"> <img id="img5" alt="About the Facility" fp-style="fp-btn: Soft Capsule 5" fp-title="About the Facility" height="27" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img5',/*url*/'button105.jpg')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img5',/*url*/'button115.jpg')" onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img5',/*url*/'button35.jpg')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img5',/*url*/'button35.jpg')" src="button115.jpg" style="border: 0" width="136"></a> <a href="videos.htm"> <img id="img6" alt="Video" fp-style="fp-btn: Soft Capsule 5" fp-title="Video" height="27" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img6',/*url*/'button107.jpg')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img6',/*url*/'button116.jpg')" onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img6',/*url*/'button106.jpg')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img6',/*url*/'button106.jpg')" src="button116.jpg" style="border: 0" width="136"></a> <a href="photos1.htm"> <img id="img7" alt="Photos" fp-style="fp-btn: Soft Capsule 5" fp-title="Photos" height="27" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img7',/*url*/'button1C1.jpg')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img7',/*url*/'button1A8.jpg')" onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img7',/*url*/'button1B1.jpg')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img7',/*url*/'button1B1.jpg')" src="button1A8.jpg" style="border: 0" width="136"></a> <a href="shoffit.htm"> <img id="img8" alt="Instructor Mr. Shoffit" fp-style="fp-btn: Soft Capsule 5" fp-title="Instructor Mr. Shoffit" height="27" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img8',/*url*/'button1F1.jpg')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img8',/*url*/'button1D1.jpg')" onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img8',/*url*/'button1E1.jpg')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img8',/*url*/'button1E1.jpg')" src="button1D1.jpg" style="border: 0" width="136"></a><a href="history.htm"><img id="img9" alt="History of Shin-Toshi" fp-style="fp-btn: Soft Capsule 5" fp-title="History of Shin-Toshi" height="27" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img9',/*url*/'button109.jpg')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img9',/*url*/'button117.jpg')" onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img9',/*url*/'button108.jpg')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img9',/*url*/'button108.jpg')" src="button117.jpg" style="border: 0" width="136"></a> <a href="events.htm"> <img id="img10" alt="Seminars and Special Events" fp-style="fp-btn: Soft Capsule 5;
