Good quality, i couldn't tell from the photo that its actually a gold not a bone/sandy colour - thats my bad for not just asking so i wont be using it for my use case but its good for the price if anyone needs a reference! Fyi remember its golden and sparkly!!

This Ito is very stretchy, and caused a lot of trouble performing tsuka-maki - if you slipped your grip even slightly, it could ruin your entire wrap. I also noticed that the Ito wasn’t very strong and even began to fray after only a couple hours of use, so keep that in mind too.I’d say it’s just worth the extra money to buy high quality Japanese silk or cotton Ito instead of this.

The ito is pretty thick and good quality. I had this wrap for about 2 months now and it hasn't came apart or loosen up. Does the job.

I purchased two different colors of this wrap (dark blue and dark brown) for a couple of refit projects. On the plus side, the cord is very affordable, so it's not a great cost if you mess up, and the colors are very nice. You also get enough cord to wrap a 10-12" Tsuka and still have about 5' left over for a matching Sageo. On the negative, the cord is a bit stretchy, which makes for potentially sloppy diamonds, and can't be pulled very tightly (it gets significantly narrower as you stretch it). Worse: it frays very easily. This is particularly frustrating when trying to place Hishigame or tying the end knots (or even the presentation knot in the Sageo) as grabbing the cord with anything sharper than your fingertips will snag it. The softness of it does provide a nice grip when done, but it will shift a bit under use, so there's really no keeping the diamonds straight. So it's just fine for "working" swords that take a lot of abuse and don't have to look perfect, but not for a clean "presentation" wrap.

I am using this cord for several applications toward my SCA persona and it is proving to be exactly what I wanted! Durable and soft earth tone color that does not stick out but allows visual distinction between historical garb.
