ROKUJURO Posted September 3, 2017 Report Posted September 3, 2017 Gentlemen,actually I am completing an AIKUCHI and I would like to buy or trade a pair of small round (max. 15 mm dia.) MENUKI, possibly with a familiy MON or of flower shape (e.g. KATABAMI). It is a simple AIKUCHI so I am looking for similar MENUKI, nothing fancy or valuable. Dark colour (SHAKUDO, patinated copper or silver preferred).forge.collin (at) gmail (dot) com Quote

ROKUJURO Posted September 5, 2017 Author Report Posted September 5, 2017 Thank you, Stephen!I saw these, but they are too big for the small AIKUCHI TSUKA, and for press-molded MENUKI, I find them way too expensive. Quote
Stephen Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 Your Welcome Jean i was looking at his tsuba, seen them and thought of you, just a chance. Ill keep looking. Quote

ROKUJURO Posted September 5, 2017 Author Report Posted September 5, 2017 Unfortunately, this joke escapes me as I am not a native speaker. Quote
Brian Posted September 6, 2017 Report Posted September 6, 2017 And just to keep this slightly on track... http://www.edoantiques.com/index.php?id_product=187&controller=product&id_lang=2 19mm. Not too far off.https://www.antiqueswords.com/product/BQ3459F/An-Outstanding-Edo-Period-Japanese-Matched-Pair-of-Tanto-Size-Shakudo-Flower-Mon-Menuki.html 25mm long, so vertically should be about right http://www.collectorsfirearms.com/kinko-menuki-mgj311/Not too far off Quote
ROKUJURO Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Posted September 7, 2017 Brian,thank you! Frank Galland is a very good dealer with fair prices, it seems. I think I will buy from them. Quote
