Not where I live, we got Ninjas along with Samurai and let me tell you. They are very elusive along with their razor sharp Sword. Always be on the look.
I am going to attempt making a handle and do the wrapping. Its for a tanto blade I bought yesterday. Hopefully I will be able to pull it off. Awe. Love your assistant. She adorable. Reminds me of my little girl. She’s 1 and a half.
Thank you. Your video production is very well done and detailed. The wrapping is done beautifully. A true craftsman and artist. Cheers to you sir for keeping these traditions.
Thanks for the video and the patient to show us the "makitsuka" . Wonderful work. I would like to see how do you maked the 2th not, in the video it don't appear.
What is the name of the tool on the left, @9:18. I have scoured the net for days looking for a good tsukamaki hand clamp. I do see the clamp next to it, but I'm looking for that rounded bite tool's name. Thanks! Fantastic video! I recently did my second attempt at Tsukamaki with my home made hishigami from rice paper, on my Iaito. Feels fantastic, did a quality job, with synthetic silk. My first attempt was with cotton, and I didn't do bad there either, it's just you improve quickly once you understand a few things. when you make the first fold, you can keep a finger on top of the ito thread, to help form your triangles. (Triangles were the last thing on my mind, tight and right was forefront.) By the second try, I was ready. First fold needs actually folding before pulling tight, if you want it to look good, and for the second thread to lock in. Use a tool to tamp the hishigami and knot, and pull tight again. That's pretty much it.
@@binderdozen does that particular tool have a name other than Tsukamaki clamp? 😆 i ended up making my own but im not a blacksmith, still curious to find one. Only thing I've seen is 300+ dollars because they are specially machined. Rarity, however, will not make me spend 300$ on a maybe 40$ clamp. So ill keep looking.
I loved the care he took in preparing the samegawa. I loved the T. rex skull tattooed on his arm! I loved his little assistant! However, I would have preferred a descriptive narration, telling us what he was doing and why, to just the overloud music. Still, this was a valuable and useful video - thank you!
Not only great work, video shows work in very fine detail others can use. It also shows a master at work. It would like to know how many handles you have wrapped? You show confedent experience only acquired by many hours of dedicated work. I will use this video when wrapping my handles. Thanks for passing on this knowledge!
I’m curremtly living my dream. Well I start small making a Tanto. This video is quite good but some of the important steps he leaves out. For example tying the end knot is only partially shown, there are more acurate videos on YT.
You can see many new videos on my channel. This one is old haha. By the way. I got ito, sageo from Tozando and samegawa from mr Karyo Dumadi, you can easily find him on fb
I have been wanting to rewrap my Tsuka with a different Ito and this video will definitely help a lot because I have been curious about how to wrap an Ito around a Tsuka in detail. Thank You for the video.
nice demonstration. i've had trouble finding good examples on how to finish up the tie properly, they're usually poorly lit, use very dark ito, and are low video quality. this is great. thank you
simple yet complex , my katana handle part on the bottom popped off when i was chopping at brush to clear a path , having a tough time getting it back to normal with the original string
hello....i like so mutch your work!!!thanks for sharing...a question, witch kind of pliers do yoy use in the video? and where i can find right tools? thanks
Ah, i made it from the design i searched on internet :) From my country, its hard and expensive to find right tools, so I had to remake and find smt similar which i can used
What is the average price of your service? Seeing how very right THIS was done makes one appreciate how it can very easily go very wrong. Especially with the mass-produced katana.
On assemble, is no glue attach the blade to the other parts at all, just a small peg mafe by bamboo to hold the bled to the handle :) I just use Kusune _ a kind of glue stick, to paste glue to the string when I wrap. Kusune is made by rosin, bee wax, oil and charcoal powder
so is there paper behind every twist of the ito? thats an interesting fact that I had no idea about till now....also I thought ray skin wasn't allowed to be in the market anymore
They help hold the shape of the twisted knot doesnt deform when I stretches the strings and of course they're organic so it could be decompose. So I had to lacquer all of them after finish
Hello friend. I was wondering who and where you buy your supply of samegawa?..Thanks so much. And btw I keep watching your videos over and over again bc I want to learn how to do a full Tsuka.. 😊😎💯🌟👍
It´s realy a true masterpiece. I have to clean the cotton Silk on my Tsuka (White) and I´am not good on disassemble it (I dont have the Tools either). Do you have any tips for my how to clean it?
www.thejapanesesword.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=292 I had to test so much to find out the correct formula for the glue stick, because of the weather at my country is so hot to make the glue to wet
nothing wrong with that modern tools japanese sword makers use power hamers grinders and seen a few tsukamaki people use a band saw to cut the wood handle and ray skin
Beautiful Tsuka wraps. Your last green leather tsuka was organic and irregular, it had its own beauty but this one is classic - the diamonds are very clean. Love it! Do you make tsuka like this for sale? I am interested and would be glad if you emailed/contacted me back! cheers!
I just bought a sword like that about two hour as ago- and a Piece of the part where you slide the sword in had rope and I thought that you were supposed to use it as like a back thing- I was wrong and don’t know how to tie it back... help?
Listen, people want light weight camp knifes in America. You should collaborate with an American. They make the knife and you the handle. It would sell like hotcakes!!
So Very Few Craftsman That Know, Or Study This Beautiful Art.
Not where I live, we got Ninjas along with Samurai and let me tell you. They are very elusive along with their razor sharp Sword. Always be on the look.

Amazing! Thank you for sharing this. ❤
Beautiful work! I can only imagine how many hours of practice flow in to you´re craftmanship. Well done, Sir!
Where do you get such excellent ray skin? I can’t find where to buy any for my own rewrapping project
You can find Karyo Dumadi on fb. He sells ray skin worldwide ^^
Beautiful work. The effort you make to neaten up the knot as you finish really shows attention to detail i would want, if I needed a handle wrapped.
What liquid did you use for the weathering of the same'gawa?
Was going to ask the same...
Excellent work , do you take orders for Tsuka rewrapping ? Also can you teach us how to tie the knot on saya ?
Bro, could you tell me where you buy the stingray skin and the ito sageo, please?
thanks for your video. They are an inspiration to me, my friend
You can see many new videos on my channel. This one is old haha.
By the way. I got ito, sageo from Tozando and samegawa from mr Karyo Dumadi, you can easily find him on fb

Magnificent work, lad!
Fantastic craftsmanship and attention to detail!
What is the liquid you brush on the samegawa to weather it? Where can samegawa be purchased? Thanks.
can i ask what did you use for weathering the skin?
Okay, ray skin is MUCH HARDER than I thought 😳
yea it is rawhide with calcium bumps
Bonjour ou peut on se procurer la pince . Merci
this is dope, good work!
Please can you inform me what is the glue you are using?
what you use for weathering the ray skin
Beautiful work!

What is that metal clamping tool called I can't fine one anywhere
simple yet complex , my katana handle part on the bottom popped off when i was chopping at brush to clear a path , having a tough time getting it back to normal with the original string
Was that a ink of some sort. I’m trying to get that look on the same but no luck

Look at its battle scars such a Beauty
From where I can buy this rope
Как всегда всё тщательно по японски. Уважаю всех мастеров с руками. Спасибо за это искусство!
Beautiful tsuka and katana
Can you show us the bench you plase the blade into wjen you work on tsukas?
Was that a type of glue being put on through out the assembly?
On assemble, is no glue attach the blade to the other parts at all, just a small peg mafe by bamboo to hold the bled to the handle :)
I just use Kusune _ a kind of glue stick, to paste glue to the string when I wrap. Kusune is made by rosin, bee wax, oil and charcoal powder
so is there paper behind every twist of the ito? thats an interesting fact that I had no idea about till now....also I thought ray skin wasn't allowed to be in the market anymore
Wowww.Its nice and Clear
Beautiful work wish I had the skill to do that
Technical Profession, nice work! i have‘t saw cearly the last step unfortunately。
Well done sir!
Very good. Health and safety in the U.K. would have a field day with you sanding the edges like that lol
Or May I know the list of tools I need for starters?
What kind of clamp is that ?
كم عرض هذا الحبل؟
لقد استخدمت حبال عدة لكنني ما نجحت😢
Who makes the sword you weaped the handle for ?
Where can you get Kusune in the US?
I dont know man, I made my own kusune by bee wax, cannola or sunflower oil
@@binderdozen can you make a video on how to make it?
@@hectorcortes7246 I will :) thanks for your suggest ^^
Well done!
What do the small pieces of paper do and won't they eventually decompose?
They help hold the shape of the twisted knot doesnt deform when I stretches the strings and of course they're organic so it could be decompose. So I had to lacquer all of them after finish

Woww super merci beaucoup
Amazing!!! What do you use to color the samegawa? min. 5:15
Ah I just used some leather dye powder to color it
Is there an alternative to using ray skin?
yea cloth or Embroidered cloth or linen or just have a bare wood like some Antique examples you can use other types of fish skin also
Great job. Not so many people can do that Tsuka wrapping. Can you do that for my Tsuka? How much will you charge?
Thanks to interested in my work, im in Vietnam so I just wonder how to in and out my product, my price is so cheap, just about 100_150$/ tsuka :)
VIETNAM TSUKA-MAKI, I kinda like that taisho-kin or koto with that rap beat music👍Do you know who the artist is that made this music combination?
That is so cool🤩😱👌🤯
Great job, an amazing sword.
Nice job!
Hello, thank you for your videos. I used them to wrap my vovinam vietvodao swords. But I have a questions :
- how do you make your glue?
www.thejapanesesword.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=292 I had to test so much to find out the correct formula for the glue stick, because of the weather at my country is so hot to make the glue to wet
@@binderdozen the link unfortunately doesn't work!
Very nice... the only thing bad about this video is the modern tools.
Yeah I know, I really need to focus more to build up my skills :)
nothing wrong with that modern tools japanese sword makers use power hamers grinders and seen a few tsukamaki people use a band saw to cut the wood handle and ray skin
@@micahcampa nope, you're right there isn't, it just doesn't look right when making pieces inspired by ancient arts... Looks aren't everything either!
Messed up that marker and node placement a bit.
Beautiful Tsuka wraps. Your last green leather tsuka was organic and irregular, it had its own beauty but this one is classic - the diamonds are very clean. Love it!
Do you make tsuka like this for sale? I am interested and would be glad if you emailed/contacted me back!

Thankyou, I'm so appreciate, for now, I just can restored tsuka from the old sword in Vietnam.
