Soshin Posted September 18, 2022 Report Posted September 18, 2022 Just wanted to share a new art photo of a tsuba that I am taking a fresh look from my collection and updating my notes about. The size of the tsuba is 7.6 cm by 8.0 cm. It is 5.6 mm thick at rim. Feel free to discuss politely and thank you. 5 Quote

GRC Posted September 18, 2022 Report Posted September 18, 2022 Nice mokume piece David I like how it was continuously rolled using layered steels. It would be a challenge to get clean forge welds throughout. 1 Quote
Spartancrest Posted September 18, 2022 Report Posted September 18, 2022 Reminds me of this! Delish! 1 2 Quote
GRC Posted September 18, 2022 Report Posted September 18, 2022 Spot on Dale. Nowadays it's nicknamed a "jelly roll Damascus pattern". Not sure if the Japanese had jelly rolls, so I'm sure they had some other nickname for it 2 1 Quote

Spartancrest Posted September 19, 2022 Report Posted September 19, 2022 Sorry David I am not disparaging the guard - it really is a beautiful piece and does look delectable, I do wish it had been a thicker 'roll' and we all could have a slice! 1 1 Quote

I mostly look at aquariums and aquascaping on Instagram. I do follow a few people (ex. Ray Singer) in this hobby on Instagram. Thanks for the replies, everyone. I really enjoyed bringing this old tsuba out of storage and taking another detail look at it. Here is the second photo I taken. Enjoy. 3 Quote
