Hey there, I am getting ready to do a lil customizing on the saya of one of my swords and wanted to add a iron or steel koiguchi. I don't care if its one that simply fits over teh saya or one that i'll have to carve out a bit of the saya so the koiguchi sits flush with the saya body but does anyone know where i could maybe find these.
doesn't have to be fancy, just something like the ones on the various KC swords would be perfect

To get one that fits the saya you'll probably have to make one yourself. It's pretty easy with a steel plate, some cutters, some files and a silver solder torch.
The simplest is just a copper band that's soldered together and fitted outside the saya.

If you think a large fuchi with oversized hole you get the idea. The koiguchi must be made to the saya.

hiroshi thanks, it actually already has a horn koiguchi... when you said bone i wasn't thinking of horn in that category but makes perfect sense haha.
ichiban. i realize it has to be fit to each saya or vice versa. like my iaito just has a plain copper band that sits flush with the saya body which is what i wanted to do with this or just put a metal band around the outside of the saya body
