  20. Tsuba Design - Metal Bottle Opener - (Not an Antique) (A Tsuba is the hand guard of an old Japanese sword - real ones are highly collectable) Looks like the real thing with a nice simulated patina enamel finish. Its made of metal but I don't know what the base metal is. This is a replica of a famous Edo period crab motif tsuba (a Yagyu perhaps - any correction from the ebay community is welcome) and the design was modified to work as a practical bottle opener. Its a unique and really great gift idea for anyone who is into Japanese swords and fittings, or for yourself if you enjoy bottled beverages and want to impress your friends with a your grasp of Japanese history and culture. I don't recommend that you try mounting this to your sword, although it might be kind of fun to have a bottle-opening weapon. Dimensions (approximate): 8.2 x 8.5 cm (2.54 cm = 1 inch) Katana sized These are produced by the Tokyo Metropolitan museum of art. Comes in nice, presentable gift box. Get one for yourself!
  21. i fully agree with Brian point of view!!
