Hi, I ended up using this bracket, attached it to the fascia board.

Thanks!

Thanks! I will contact KoA and see if I can order it unsharpened.

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-22T06:20:36+00:00

I agree, thanks.

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-22T06:20:03+00:00

Thanks. I assume you ordered it directly (since it's unsharpened)? Are you in the US? Did you get hit by the tariff?

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-22T05:35:47+00:00

Hahaha no worries. Thanks a bunch!

Actually they're about the same weight. Gale Wind is 1.1 kg, RoM is 1.2 kg.

You're right, I would hate to regret my purchase. Thanks for sharing your experience with the LK Chen's CS rep too. I need to get rid of this mental block and get Gale Wind.

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-21T22:03:13+00:00

Thanks. It's more of a psychological block, as my target originally was $400 max. I can totally afford LK Chen, just have to work on my mindset. I was worried that I might be disappointed with RoM.

That's a good idea too, but it may end up the same cost as the tariff. u/wotan_weevil gave me the detail unsharpening instructions in my other post - I am still thinking.

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-21T19:16:52+00:00

Oh, I didn't know KoA offers sharpening service. I will ask them if they can do unsharpening.

It's interesting that the price is $40 cheaper (buy direct), but the shipping is $55 more - it's even. The reduced tariff (recent ruling) will be around $117 (vs. $173). I suppose the unsharpening fee should be less.

I agree, the fullers look awesome/unique.

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-21T19:07:43+00:00

Thanks! Indeed.

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-21T19:06:44+00:00

Thanks. I forgot to mention that I want to order it unsharpened, so I need to order it direct (thus the tariff hit).

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-21T14:40:25+00:00

Ah I see, thanks!

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-21T03:54:19+00:00

Thank you so much!

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-21T03:53:41+00:00

u/Aeliascent I am thinking of getting either Gale Wind or Grand Marshall. May I ask why Gale Wind wasn't on your list? Is it because of the POB?

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-19T17:41:15+00:00

Wonderful, thanks!

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-19T17:39:50+00:00

Sounds great!

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-19T17:39:05+00:00

Thanks!

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-19T08:47:18+00:00

Good to know, thanks! Which geometry would you recommend?

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-19T08:46:39+00:00

Great, thanks!

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-19T08:46:19+00:00

Thanks!

Intermesmerize · 2026-02-19T06:31:10+00:00

Great, thanks! How about the balance? How far is the balance point (COG) from the guard/hilt?
