Peter Bleed Posted June 23, 2021 Report Posted June 23, 2021 Can someone please give me the term for the ring fitting - in place of menuki - on this "tachi?" What are these called? Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted June 23, 2021 Report Posted June 23, 2021 Just ran some searches with different word combinations. According to this one, Peter, they have called it a 筒金Tsutsu-gane, or cylindrical metal fitting. https://www.katanayasan.com/tousougu.meisho.html Quote
IanB Posted June 23, 2021 Report Posted June 23, 2021 Peter, I have always known this type of fitting, that are more common on tanto, as a dogane. Ian Bottomley 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted June 23, 2021 Report Posted June 23, 2021 Agreed. A very useful general word, used for those bands holding Teppo barrels to stocks too. Quote
