Louie Skebo Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 I bought this locally today, had met the owner years ago and liked the mounts.....found his phone number and picked it up. Very simple and interesting tsukamaki, can't say I've seen it before, iron fittings, the tsuba looks like it has seen a mount or two, I believe this is a Handachi style of mount. The blade is not perfect nor the mounts, but simple and weathered the way I like them. Any ideas what the wrap is called? Cheers. Louie 1 Quote
Barrie B Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 Hi Louie, Neat koshirae.. That Handachi saya is really nice.. Fittings look like Shakudo; or are they iron? I've never seen Tsuka maki like that before though.. very interesting. Barrie. Quote
Kai-Gunto Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 I have seen that itomaki before. Its not common. Quote
Louie Skebo Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Posted March 30, 2015 Shinto23, they are iron, but they do look like shakudo - there is some slight surface rust. Quote
