Gentlemen

I'm going to dress a big sword and I am looking for  a big tsuba, and  large  menuki.

The sword is 33.5" long and beefy thick.

If you have items you feel may fit the build , please post a pic  with price 

here's what I got, to dress.post-584-0-23312900-1582241954_thumb.jpg

 

 

Thank you in advance

If you want to assemble themed tōsōgu, I recommend you start with the weakest link in the chain, fuchigashira; it’s not easy to get oversized ones, i.e. fuchi of more than 3.8 cm in length. Choosing common themes like a floral motif, dragons, or shishi, will enhance your chances of finding a matching set.

 

I have these dragon menuki, shakudō with gold highlights: 70.4 mm and 69.5 mm respectively. Not exactly cheap at US$ 300.-, but a hard to find size.

I have a gentleman making the Fuchi/Kashiria in iron.(plain)

I do not have a theme as yet

I like the dragons you posted and not unreasonably priced 

I will look around for a bit before deciding on what.

Thank you sir for your rapid reply
