Glad to see this. Always nice to have more than one source for these. I use them exclusively these days.

FWIW, I found an easy way to paint these in bulk. I take a strip of balsa wood or expanded foam insulation, whichever I have handy, and place them point-down into it so as to cover the entire blade. Next, I spray paint them in the color I want them. Usually I use a tan or rust-brown auto primer, but for some pike units I've also done red, blue, or purple.

Once they are dry, just pull them out as you need them for mounting to the minis.

Excellent tip. I will try that too.
Good to see you at Huzzah as well!

Hey, great idea! Wish I'd thought of that before I mounted yari on my 32 Ashigaru…
Thanks for the tip!
Did you see what I just did?
