Choice of wood species: Red oak, White oak. Available Finish: Standard Finish, Seido Special Finish Manufacturing workshop: Aramaki Finish options: In 2021, with concerns for the workers, all workshops greatly reduced the number of urethane-varnished weapons and replaced the finish with "Candle Wax". Seido is now transitioning to a new finish offer for the majority of its weapons. Standard Finish: At Seido, we complete the workshop finishes with Camelia oil treatment by default. This is the standard Seido finish. We do not apply any additional polishing for this finish, so some weapons might have a slightly rough surface. For maintenance, we recommend oiling your weapons about once a month with a vegetal-based oil. Seido Special Finish: For this special Finish, we first apply a Camelia oil polish (oiling and sanding the weapons with oiled sandpaper), then we finish the weapon with high-quality beeswax. This finish makes the wood as smooth as it can be and guarantee excellent protection for several months. We recommend at least oiling your weapons every month or so for maintenance. You can also apply wax a few hours after oiling your weapons (if some oil remains on the wood, remove it with a piece of cloth or tissue).
