Yep again.
Tsuka it its. I bow to your knowledge, O' Kisak-san!.
I believed the same was comprised of two wood halves held together by the combination of
kabuto-gane, the
ito,
same,
mekugi, and the
fuchi..
So, how did they fit
tsubas to the tang? Did they begin with the wood, and once finished , they did the
sane-giso and the
ito?
And what is more important. How can I adapt a
tsuka to the
daito's tang without damaging the latter?
Ooopsies! Sorry again, I meant
nagako...

And to the best of my knowledge the grip isn't considered "disassemle-able". The only part of grips I've heard of getting re-used are the metal parts (fuchi, kashira, menuki).
