Hello, all. I've recently purchased a tanto that is missing kogai and kogatana, but has holes for both. Is there a science (or art) to replacing them? (Is it poor form to go to a sword show and see if any fit? Presuming dealer permission, of course.)

 

Thank you in advance for any advice!

Ideally, a set to match the Fuchi/kashira or the Tsuba would be optimal.   However, this might be too hard to aquire.  Ebay is still OK for Tosugu.   A nice matching set would be ok.

Of course not!  You’ll find many dealers willing to help you.  But do understand that these hunts require patience.  They can be fun but frustrating as well.
