Yesterday i had nothing to do so i when to my workshop and made this.

So i bet your saying what in the hell am i looking at.Well it the latest and greatest thing for iaidoka.Its a tsuba.

I have seen many katanas without the tsuba or a substitute.The only problem in when drawing the katana you must first disengage the katana from the saya to do this you push the tsuba with your thumb.But what happens when there's nothing to push, i fix that problem with a small nub just a bit right of the center of the Ha.So far it work good i'll try in with some cutting when i get a chance.

So please let me know what you think of this new idea.

I like the traditional look of a tsuba. What if you made like a tanto sized tsuba one thats just about as wide as the thumb nob on that?

But I too also prefer an actual tsuba. Looks cool though, tiger pattern!

How about a tsuba with a much smaller circumference? Think of it as a "tanto-like tsuba" (don't really know the right word lol) for a katana.

alinkinthechain: I also do love Boston. I've traveled a bit and nothing feels as wonderful as that city to me. I'm lucky to live nearby Nov 12, 2024 15:28:16 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT

blackngold: Dallas is the worst place in the country to fly in and out of. High winds can delay your flight by 6.5 hours and leave you sitting on the tarmac for an additional 2 (ask me how I know)... Oct 31, 2024 2:21:20 GMT
