I have a couple sets of fittings made by Patrick Hastings that I never got around to mounting. Today I will offer one set for sale. I know many here are relatively new to the japanese sword genre and may have heard of Patrick, but know seeing his stuff is pretty rare. Patrick was a great guy to work with, both friendly and knowledgeable. I have owned numerous tsuba, f/k and even habaki, all handmade with an impressive attention to detail for which Patrick was known.
This set is made from what Patrick called black ice and the kanji reads "samurai" in a bamboo motif. These have never been mounted and are as perfect as the day I received them.
No longer for sale
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Very nice. Patrick Hastings was top quality and I wish he was still making things. I was lucky to get some fittings from him near the end. This is a really nice, clean set. Not for me, but thanks for sharing.
