Oh Dear, Tsuba's!

I love everything with a sharp edge. My wife and I collect Indonesian Kerisses and we have two old and one new blade's from Japan.
2 Katana's and 1 wakazachi. Katana and Wakazachi dating back to around 1600. 1 Katana is seccond wearldwar thing.

We have cast a few tsuba's in bronze (charcoal fire and bellows and handmade crucible's like in the bronzeage) and Karin (my wife) has carved one in wax (only thing now is to find someone who can cast it in iron)
One of the cast tsuba's is adorning my brothers practise sword. He is high up the black belts in various japanese fighting techniques. He wants to move to Japan and live there. (not) Funny thing is that my mother was kept in a Japanese warcamp on Java for a few years back in 1943 till the end of the war I believe. She's not very glad with my brothers wishes and my collection of kerisses and Japanese sword's. Hard for us both, but it seems like it has to be this way:o

Cant find the pictures right now, otherwise i'd post them.

Hope to see your's soon!!!
What does bracelet material look like?

Greetings,

Daniel
