Awaken-Benihime first made his appearance on DeviantArt by uploading his beautifull Benihime sword. I could not fathom how he could make a sword better then Benihime. I was gobsmacked when he first unveiled Seele-Schneider, from that moment forward I knew he was a swordmaker of incredible skill.

Swordmaking has never been just black and white, there is not just one way to build a sword, and Awaken-Benihime has proved that point. Seele-Schneider glows, it actually glows! I cannot express how cool that is! He has skillfully introduced modern day electronics into swordmaking which has existed for thousands of years. The composition of old and new is in pure harmony and that is what swordmaking is about.

In the construction of this blade, he has shown that he is talented with a huge array of construction skills! I had the pleasure of meeting Awaken-Benihime and holding this blade. The feeling was like holding a newborn baby, it was so precious and one of a kind in the world. Looking at this blade, you just cannot help but admit he is a genius at swordmaking.
