Making katana koshirae, component tsuka 2/12

[@fightswordradio3735]

It's not a big problem. The reason being is that you're supposed to drill a pair of holes through the handle and tang, and you can set in pins that will keep everything in place. That and some epoxy also helps.

Traditional style katanas only use one pin and no glue. It worked of hundreds of years.

[@fightswordradio3735]

@@you_dont_know_me6583 eh kind of. Hilts were consumables and had to be replaced and maintained constantly. It isnt uncommon on old katanas to see wooden shims glued inside the hilt to snug the hilt back down to the tang as the wood would compress away from the tang and makr it loose. To say it worked is a little bit of an overstatement, the western approach to hilt construction was a lot less of a hassle.

[@you_dont_know_me6583]

Yes but the hilt was never permanently glued. It like you said was made to be removable and replaceable.

[@fightswordradio3735]

@@you_dont_know_me6583 well pf course it was because the construction wasnt resilient. The point of epoxy is the absorb the vibrations that break down the wood guardian. Also, hammers are good at removing wood epoxied to steel lol so shrug?

Usually one side is carved deeper, so the edge presses against wood. The tang basically lies over 80% in one side of the tsuka.

[@arhvash]

You keep re adjusting the habaki. Why is it so loose?

wow that band sander works FAST

A very good way to confuse someone with no idea of what they are doing

[@josharaujo9589]

I'm going to ask this again, why not run the tang along the entire length of the handle? Gluing the tang into the handle bears the risk of it coming off with heavy use

[@MaximRecoil]

All katanas have a partial tang. The handles are not glued on, they are pinned on with one or two wooden dowels. See here - www.tf.uni-kiel.de/matwis/amat/iss/kap_b/illustr/jap_sword_development_large.jpg. The hole or holes in the tang are where the dowels go through. Gluing the two halves of the handle together isn't a problem (don't confuse that with gluing the handle to the tang, which isn't done), as long as you use good glue. Standard wood glue or white glue (i.e., PVA glue) bonds stronger than the wood itself.

[@rickfrazier5284]

I use the forge to heat the tang then burn it into the piece of wood prior to the heat treating process ,but this requires you to be very steady and straight but eliminates the need for gluing the piece together and possibility of it coming apart at a seem, but its not for everyone.

[@Pilinchi1]

Hey, can you make a handle for my WW2 Japanase sword?

[@corax2012]

Some modern glues are stronger than the wood they glue together ... but, it could be a concern. I don't have the skill to doodle the hole out perfectly for a katana.
