Ford Hallam Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Milt, think you may be right. the thingy at the end of the saya is the kojiri btw , the kurikata ( lit; chestnut shape ) is the goodie on the side of the saya, through which the sagoe passes. You probably know all that anyway, I'm always mixing up terms, it's all Greek to me :? Ford Quote
Pete Klein Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 It could be the kashira from an aikuchi mount without ito -- if there isn't a wrap then there is no need for the shitodomeana. -- also -- this is a nice example of inyokan style menuki which are used as mekugi. Quote
