Blade and mounts were traditionally made by different craftsmen, a possible exception being tsuba. Some tsuba are believed to have been made by sword smiths, or at least in their workshops, out of blade scrap and cut off's. Ferrous and non ferrous metalwork are different enough skills that they are rarely practised by the same smith.
