Quick update for you all tonight...
-All
three versions (18650/500/350) will be available from the launch date!
-I've also decided on the engraving designs. I think they look spectacular
-I will be releasing the render of the final production version(s) within a week from today. The first pre-production run should be done within 2-3 weeks, and the testers will have them in their hands soon after.
-Obviously, I have a passion for Japanese culture. One of the facets of my interest is anime, and undoubtedly my most favorite work (as it has been for the entire time I've been watching anime) is Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Evangelion is full of symbolism. Although I cannot copy and engrave the Evangelion, Angels, characters, or certain phrases or symbols from the series (due to copyright and trademark laws), I am going to dedicate my first
three runs of Limited Edition Odachi APV's to this complex and extremely philosophical masterpiece.
These first three runs will be anodized aluminum- which was my original vision for the Odachi. 50 to 100 of each will be made available, and they will have other cosmetic changes that will differentiate them from the standard-edition Odachi. Do you have any suggestions? Feel free to comment or PM me, and stay tuned for more info as we get closer to the first Odachi release!
-Start getting excited, because the final version is BADASS!
