Higo Jingo Handachi fuchi kashira and kojiri with awabi style. This is a katana size set that is of mounting quality. This would be mounted well with an awabi style tsuba. Price is $350+shipping

Two nice iron tsuba (Umetada and "Nobuie")

On the description on eBay you say it’s gourds but here you say grape. I don’t have a strong eye for the different types of plants so can you please clarify. Thank you! Beautiful tsuba. -

They have the same mon. I wonder if that’s indicative of anything.

Bazza, thank you for that awesome example! I am a sword practioner and this style of tanto is actually used by us. I am curious of the history behind this as my sensei has said that he hasnt seen another style use this type of tanto. I am not claiming that our art is the only one. I just cant find any history on it. For the style of fittings on that tanto, it is also traditional for our swords to be in handachi mounts.

Hello, I am looking for information on a style of tanto that has the tsuba attached to the saya. From a practioner's viewpoint, i understand it's use. Historically i cant find any information or many examples of this style. I have attached an image of an example i have come across. thanks, Jason
