Tanto54 Posted October 20, 2019 Report Posted October 20, 2019 Saw this tsuba at the sword museum in Toyama. Looks like the “Sukashi” was made by rolling flat metal strips and the soldering them in place instead of piercing. Only seen a few good examples of this over the years, so I thought that I’d share.

Ford Hallam Posted October 20, 2019 Report Posted October 20, 2019 I doubt that this is in fact a soldered up construction but rather a typical pierced guard. I've not ever seen a soldered up strip antique tsuba myself. Quote
