Bubbasan Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hello I am a new member here, I am a swordsmith/ Bladesmith and I just finished this one. The tsuka is Hard Missouri white oak with cherry accents To prevent tsuka from splitting. It is hand forged fro 1075 and 9260 silcon steel . Its nice and limber . Never cut anything with it . Eventually I will outfit it with Tsuba and ito wrap. I made 3 of these until I got one that did not delaminate a little . sword cutting edge is 29 " I am cutting saya for it at the present time . Thanks for looking ... James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
