I'd rather just forge blades. And he made tsuba. But there are not many koshiraeshi , habakishi and togishi available here. That's why I had to learn everything. But the quality of the work of specialized craftsmen is much higher. But also the price, of course.
I usually make the most basic tsuka. Before the glue dries, habaki. Other dimensions develop from habaki. (tsuka, saya) When I finish the habaki, the tsuka gluing is dry and I can continue working without a break.
It's a gouge file. It has gears in rows behind it. I'm probably good at making blades. I can handle Koshiorae and its components at an amateur level. I don't know whether to make a video on this topic. Maybe someone better. Like Ford Hallam ?
