CAS Hanwei Maintenance Kit

Kit appears to be one of the lower end cleaning kits. It does NOT contain shimming veneers (which is what I bought it for), and indeed oil had leaked out all over the interior. These kits are all pretty much the same; this one had no box for the oilcloth, some sort of low grade oil (not choji), cheaper uchiko ball, no hoshogami (rice paper), cheaper box. It did contain a couple of mekugi, that did not appear to be tapered, made of an unknown wood, which I would hesitate to use in any of my weapons. Should be able to get a kit with all the right stuff for $10-$12 - elsewhere....

This cleaning kit is advertised and was expected to be a good kit. I was very disappointed. It was not anything I expected, not to mention, looked like it had been used and was leaking oil all over the place.However, when I emailed my complaint in... I was answered within the day and offered all my money back including shipping. Thank you for that.But the cleaning kit itself... not worth buyin.

This kit is generally fine. The only issue I have is the top for the bottle of oil is very hard to open and close and eventually I tore it apart trying to open it. They need to make that lid better.

Arrived quickly, as usual for Amazon. This is a very nice and complete maintenance kit for a Katana. My only complaint is that the storage box is rather flimsy. But over all it is well worth the money.
