Kyu Gunto

[Michael 67]

Hello friends,

have a question to my Kyu Gunto.

Tiere are 2 with standard lock, the third is completely different.

I find nothing in the www or my books. 1 mekugi and 1 screw to hold the blade.

 

A clip attached at the tsuka.

 

I am really grateful for everything you can tell about it.

I have never seen that before.

its a very cool and rarely seen custom latch, ordrerd by someone who really took there sword seriously in combat. once your place your hand around the tsuka your ready to draw.

 

not fiddle around with your thumb to press the latch then try and draw.

 

very nice variation

Very nice Michael.

Thanks for showing. Looks very fast and effective.

Is this the Tsuguhira?
