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.
