Tsuba Shapes

[kissakai]

Hi

I am thinking about where my tsuba collection goes next

In the short term I buying any strange or irregular shaped tsuba

I'd prefer to buy from a NMB member rather than being directed to website links

might consider, not real irregular but not every day....big 9+

Not sure what you have but I love octagonal tsuba!

Stephen,

 

Could you please give us a good, clear shot both sides of the tsuba to the right hand side in this image??

 

BaZZa.

[Stephen]

not my tsuba Bazza, im passing along request to Scott tho, 

 

i have just the one

 

[Ken-Hawaii]

Wow! That last tsuba looks really heavy! it would take a hefty blade to balance that out!

Here are images of both sides of the tsuba.

Wow. Fascinating tsuba Scott, and I know we are off topic now. But they worked that tsuba like it was made of clay

[Bazza]

Yes, off topic now, but I asked because I have photos of a tsuba once lent to me that reminded me of Scott Irey's tsuba - thanks for replying Scott.  I'll have to dig them out and write up a little story and post it on a separate topic referring to this.  It certainly comes under the heading of "strange tsuba", so maybe it is on topic???

 

Bestests,

BaZZa.

[Stephen]

So silence is a pass?

Hi Stephen

Thanks for the offer but I was looking for the more unusual shape rather than size such as below

I also have a 'wan' tsuba and one which has cloud like cut outs on the mimi

Thanks Richard G

Would have been exactly what I was looking for but as you said the condition is too poor
