jezah81 Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 Hey guys, Im thinking of getting my sword polished and getting a new habaki made for my sword through Colin Griffiths at http://www.cgfinearts.com Has anyone heard of or had any experience with this company before and how was their experience? Kind Regards, Jeremy Hagop Quote
b.hennick Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 Hi: I have known Colin for many years. He is one of the good guys in Nihonto. I have bought things from him but have never had restoration work done with him. Quote
Mark Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 Like Barry, i have known Colin for years. I have not had him handle any restoration for me but i have seen several swords that he has had restored and they were well done. Quote
Grey Doffin Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 Ditto for me. Colin is a great guy. Grey Quote
Bungo Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 Colin has a good sense of humour....being a Brit, he likes them " dirty "( Benny Hill-ish ) he's a GOOD DUDE. MILT THE RONIN Quote
Jean Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 Colin is a splendid guy, I had a good experience with him. I bought him an item and as I was new to paypal I tried to debit his account instead of crediting it :lol: :lol: Since I have learned a bit .... Quote

bdgrange Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 You need not worry with this person. I have used his services for both sword restoration and for shinsa. He has had the same agent in Japan for several years. He is first class and very reputable with a long history of good service. He will be at the S.F. Taikai this comming weekend for those who might be attending. Highly regarded by all and communicates well, a real gentleman. bdgrange Quote
