Looked what arrived today.



5 minutes later....







The only thing I don't like is the glue residue on the green handled Scrapizashi. There is some above the handle near the guard and also on the butt below the handle.....







The one with the all black handle has no glue residue........and it was inspected by someone different. ?

No huge deal but it doesn't seem to be glued as good/evenly at the top as the all black Zashi.

Like someone else said the handle appears to be resin coated paracord, but feels surprising good/comfortable.

Pics compared to the Waki. The Scrapizashi feels better balanced and faster IMO. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The finish on the Regulator Prototype is different. It looks like double cut but two toned. The top near the spine is darker than the lower half of the blade. Just an observation.
