parfaitelumiere Posted November 11, 2017 Report Posted November 11, 2017 HelloI am looking for a tsuba to complete this set, I would get a 75-78mm size if possible.The menuki are 50mm long fuchi is 38mm long.I already have the saya, blade, seppa and fittings, only tsuba is missing and of course, the tsuka to make. I was thinking about a dragon themed tsuba, it will be to make a 60-65cm katana mount, using uchigatana blade. Quote
Stephen Posted November 11, 2017 Report Posted November 11, 2017 Dragon in gold? Soft metal or iron? Quote
parfaitelumiere Posted November 11, 2017 Author Report Posted November 11, 2017 Hello,My set is a shakuto, with probable mercury gold dragon.But I can choose iron, shakudo or gold, depending on what it can look like, and price of course. Quote

parfaitelumiere Posted November 11, 2017 Author Report Posted November 11, 2017 I think I would spend something like 400$ on it.Also, size is quite important, as I am looking for 75 to 80mm diameter. Quote

vajo Posted November 13, 2017 Report Posted November 13, 2017 Very nice kozuka. Patrice this would be perfect fit to your collection. Write to him. He will make you an asking price. I buy often from this seller. 1 Quote
parfaitelumiere Posted November 13, 2017 Author Report Posted November 13, 2017 I think this kozuka was a set, shame the seller is selling them as spare because the complete set would make a daisho wil my actual tosogu, even a bit different. I am asking seller more informations. 1 Quote
CSM101 Posted November 15, 2017 Report Posted November 15, 2017 The tsuba belongs to a friend. But maybe he will sell it.... Uwe G. Quote
Stephen Posted November 15, 2017 Report Posted November 15, 2017 I may be interested Uwe, if Patrice is not. Quote
parfaitelumiere Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Posted November 15, 2017 Hello Uwe, Depending on size and price this tsuba could be what I need. Please let me know. Quote
parfaitelumiere Posted November 27, 2017 Author Report Posted November 27, 2017 Finally found this dragon: it's a bit large for the set, so not sure to use it, however I really like it, and, no hitsu ana, making my 6th tsuba with no hitsu ana. Quote
