Vermithrax16 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 I got this one by accident a few weeks back on auction and it's not all that bad. Mokume works appeal to me, so I do tend to pick them out of listings. Width: 7.3cm Length: 7.5cm Thickness: 4mm This tsuba is very heavy, feels great in hand. Needs some TLC so will ask Stephen and Curran how best to clean it up. There is a mei, but I can't make it out and no help in the Translation section, so either unreadable or it says "I am fake" and no one wanted to tell me. Nice patterns, would clean up well I think. 1 Quote
