Tanto sized tsuba....

[Ed]

Looking for a small hamidashi tsuba in suaka copper for a project.  Dimensions of approximately 1.75" (0.069mm) X 1.25" (0.049mm) X 0.1875" (0.0074mm).

With or without the kozuka cutout as seen in the provided example. No motif or embellishment required, in fact I would prefer a plain smooth finish.

Something like this iron piece only in suaka.

If you have something like this, please contact me via the email address below.

Thanks, Ed

Ed,

with these given dimensions, you will probably not be able to see the desired TSUBA with the naked eye.....

If I am not wrong, 1.75" corresponds to 44,4 mm.

Yip. 4.5cm x 3.2cm x 0.5cm

I appreciate your attempt to alert me to a possible typo. However, those measurements are correct.  It is for a small tanto and I know exactly what I want.

It should barely protrude outside the width of the seppa, no more than 0.25" or 6.3mm. (see attached).

Ed,

it wasn't a typo, you only miscalculated inch into mm. The mm-hight of the wanted TSUBA was corresponding to the "average diameter of a human hair"i

I understand perfectly that you need a small HAMIDASHI TSUBA. I found some on the i-net, but my first go would be to check our dealers here on the NMB forum.
It might not be easy to find such a small TSUBA; the smallest that came up was 50,7 mm high.

@Ed
No big deal, we know what you meant. It's those mm conversions
You divided by 25.4 instead of multiplying by 25.4

[Ed]

OOPS my bad!  F*cking metric system

Round of apologies.

 

Starting over. Tsuba needed in suaka 1.75" X 1.25" X 0.1875"

You want to know what that is in mm, do the math your damn self!
