Steel Tsuba blanks

Laser cut steel tsuba
                    blanks

These tsuba blanks are made from mild steel and are ready to be worked by you into whatever wonderful designs you have in mind. You can use ironworking chisels and files, or rotary grinding tools if you are of a less traditional attitude. (Click image for a larger view)

From left to right we call these "Round", "Round Pierced", and "Moku-kogai". 

You can order by paypal or see the bottom of the page for other payment methods. All these blanks are 3/16" (4.5mm) thick. The round tsuba are 3 1/16" (7.8cm) in diameter, and the moku are 3 1/8" (8cm)  by 2 7/8" (7.3cm).
 
 
round-pierced Round-pierced $28

Since the blanks have proven so popular, we have introduced a few more designs. These are much further along to being finished but you will still have to do some filing. The steel will also need to be finished to prevent rusting. Click on the photo to see a larger image.

Blanks? Did I say these were blanks? We have people using these tsuba as is on their blades, but we consider them blanks and charge accordingly.

Tsuba blank cost includes shipping in North America.

NOTE: for orders of 3 or more, or for wholesale orders of 10 or more tsuba email us  

 

Here is a lovely  project by Matt Draper who took one of the round tsuba, flattened two sides, then antiqued it with ferric chloride, engraved it in a tiger stripe/rapid river pattern, then plated it with nitric acid and copper.
