I am looking to purchase some Silk Sageo, and everything I have seen comes in 220cm or 7 foot lengths. I am applying this to a Wakizashi and I assume I cut it down? The knot I want (don't know the proper name) is the one shown here http://www.ksky.ne.jp/~sumie99/imageNDF.JPGand I am of the understanding that for a Wakizashi that the "loops" are just two per side and not three. Can someone confirm this?

 

Thank you

Thank you Guido Schiller

 

I have contacted both companies for a quote. Very appreciated!

 

Would you happen to know if the paticular knot I am interested in has a "name"?

 

Thanks

Thank you once again. I very much appreciate your kindness.

 

I am very new at this, and have a nice Wakizashi that is missing the Sageo and would like to add it to complete the "look".

 

Sincerely,

 

Justin

One more question for the day.

 

The term Ronin Musubi... Musubi, according to my dictionary, means ending, conclusion, union and Musubime means knot.

 

What is the "translation" of Ronin Musubi?

 

Thank you

Sageo come in different lengths: Tachi 350 cm, Katana 180 cm, Wakizashi 120 cm, Tantô 90 cm; 220 cm is Chôsun (extra long) for Katana and not very common.

 

For some reason or other folks buy bucketloads of sageo for chosun from me, and fit them to katana. Far more than buy sageo for katana. Dunno why but it is the commonest length selling, even though we do the all the other lengths.

 

Whatever you do, don't cut a sageo down. Buy one the correct length.

 

Edited to say thanks to ERazer for explaining by PM the demand for chosun sageo. Makes sense. :-)
