    LOL, it is more than a little embarrassing to call it that, but that is what j-armory calls it. Most people know it as a "musashi" tsuba or just a variation of the higo theme. I'm not fond of it and recently replaced it with this tsuba from Fred Lohman:


    I like it much better. It doesn't roll around during reiho and it improved the balance of the sword quite a bit. Also, the j-armory tsuba had some sharp edges on the inside of the cut-outs that bit me more than once.

    If it is the one I think it is, Aoi Budogu calls it "namako".

    By the way, a Ni-ring is a tsuba shape with two rings making the tsuba. Check out the pics on Sean's post and you should see it.

    And I'd like to thank you for coming up to visit as well. It is always interesting to see how other branches do things and it was nice to learn a little more about your group.
