Spartancrest Posted November 1, 2021 Report Posted November 1, 2021 I did read somewhere that many tsuba were tested by pounding in a mortar and pestle to ascertain which smith made the strongest guards - My new Bulldog puppy has been taking lessons! [Only replica guards were hurt in the 'Testing' - but I am not anxious to let him near the rest of the collection!] 1 1 Quote

ROKUJURO Posted November 1, 2021 Report Posted November 1, 2021 Dale, I would not be anxious about the TSUBA, but about his teeth! 2 Quote
Spartancrest Posted November 1, 2021 Author Report Posted November 1, 2021 He must have misunderstood 'Tekkotsu' Iron bones? Or just wanted to hang out with his friends? 2 Quote
Greg F Posted November 1, 2021 Report Posted November 1, 2021 Dale thats a gorgeous pup mate. One of my favorite breeds. So far my Amstaff is more interested in my daughters toys than mine . Quote
Spartancrest Posted November 1, 2021 Author Report Posted November 1, 2021 Greg, he is no angel - you might be able to make out his gang affiliation teardrop tattoos on his lower eyelids - I think he is a 'cartel canine'. American Staffy - oh no they have longer legs and can reach the higher shelves! 1 Quote
Spartancrest Posted November 22, 2021 Author Report Posted November 22, 2021 Well my dog didn't test these ones - https://www.jauce.com/auction/q1021510626 - But someone sure did! Or were they hit by a truck! What is the going rate for scrap tosogu? Quote
