drake53545 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Report Posted December 28, 2013 ok thank you i was figuring that the tsuba and everything were fake it came from a pawnshop with a broken blade so i took the blade i had and fitted it in the saya and everything so i could protect the blade when i moved i still like it though its kinda like that ugly painting you get from a friend and it just kinda grows on you lol Quote
Antti Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 At least even ugly paintings are still authentic. This is more like a bad quality print from an ugly painting If you are looking for a real tsuba, plenty of vendors in the links-section of the forum. And welcome! Quote
