I'm like you George know very little about tosogu, more than enough to get me into trouble, I do like the simple style. Koichi we can always count on you for in depth clarity. Hai Domo! This is the rest of the package and i feel the tsuba goes quite well with the F/K maybe not so much the kozuka but it works. this may come up for sale soon check the For Sale thread in the next week or so.

Thank you Koichi, I knew I could count on you. any of the resident Tosogu guys care to make the call, gimei?
