    Hey folks here is a snap of my hidetoki if it’s comparable. Regards
  4. Ron M
    Here are my only two sanmai tsuba. Thanks for the thread to see others
  5. Ron M
    Ahh that’s a good one too.
  6. Ron M
    I agree, cast in copper and cleaned up then patinated

    Hello and good evening, I don’t see any seams, nor flash from casting but this looks like it’s bronze or copper. Probably a molded piece, but not really sure what all I see. Thank you for any insight.

    Unfortunately this is a Chinese fake swords’ tang..therefore, it is jibberish. I’m sure others will agree

    Thank you Dan. This is a lot of help for those who cannot get there
  12. Ron M
    I second what Seth states. I agree on his thoughts and also add that, with very few exceptions, a Japanese smith would never finish a tang (nakago) like this

    Hoshu Takata Fujiwara ? Kage maybe…not sure 豊州高田住藤原 ? 景

    No it’s probably for a wak but why only have a kogai and not a kogatana, as they are extremely popular and you can find more than of kogai. So what makes kogai so special that this tsuba clearly shows the preference
  15. Ron M
    No, the caption only describes the abalone using Aogai. It’s very unique so far but hell may be a meh to some of these folks

    Hello, I have a saya with this decoration in it and found this pic in a Ginza magazine. I know the abalone if Aogai but what are the swirls called and made from? I believe they look like sanded rattan. thank you and regards
