Swapping out kanagu

[Stever]

Hi Folks,

 

Something mentioned in another thread kind of tweaked me to ask this. How often do people swap out kanagu, particularly tsuba, and how easily is this accomplished? With fuchi/kashira and menuki I can see it being simple enough (just get a new tsuka made), but how do you fit a tsuba to a different blade? Does a sayashi do this for you, or...?

 

Cheers,
