As others before me have said, the hammer is the best part of the whole kit. The choji oil is neat, but you can get away with using mineral oil or even baby oil on your steel. It’s not a huge deal. The pegs are kinda cool, might be useful if you ever need replacements. The rice paper is interesting. You only get 2 sheets, and they won’t last you very long at all. On the other hand, you can just as easily use a microfiber cloth instead of rice paper, so whatever. The uchiko powder ball is pretty useless. No telling if it’s even real uchiko, so it’s most likely detrimental to your weapon if you do decide to use it for whatever reason. Best case scenario, you dry the moisture on the sword. Worst case, you scratch up your steel.
