c2tcardin Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 So I recently picked up a 10 year old shinken made by Kimura Kanetsugu that has this Tsuba mounted on it and I've never done much in the way of Tsuba study...so what can you tell me about it? I would love to start learning more about them. Two things I know for sure, it's unsigned, and it's more than 10 years old. Thanks, Jeff Quote

manfrommagnum Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 Its a really nice tsuba for your first. Quote
c2tcardin Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Posted July 10, 2016 Thanks Mike, I thought it was funny that this was my first antique tsuba but the other blades I've owned in the past were always in shirasaya. Quote
