Steve Waszak Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 I've decided to part with this fine Yamakichibei tsuba. Iron, wakizashi-sized at 69 x 63mm, 2.5mm at the nakago-ana, 3mm at the mimi. The iron displays the classic Yamakichibei yakite treatment, complementing the tekkotsu and tsuchime that also characterize Yamakichibei guards. The sukashi design has been described as a partial wheel or as an allusion to a fist (the sukashi openings being roughly where one's knuckles would be when making a fist). Momoyama to early-Edo period. $375.00 plus shipping. Paypal please. Cheers, Steve
