flowing... organic... molten... ethereal, first four words that come to mind as soon as I see this awesome tsuba.
I would have a hard time deciding whether to mount it or display it (possibly on a chain around my neck for all to see)

Yeah Josh-I have sat on this a long time trying to decide what I would mount it on-I've got fuchi/kashira and kojiri from YB in Ishimi Higo style and it really suits it I think.I will post pics shortly with everything all together.Let you guys see and get feed back on the combo.

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
