The Manga Tsuba Designs: Pt 4by *chioky

Resources & Stock Images / Designs & Patterns

The Manga Tsuba Index

The purpose of these drawings is to help swordmakers and propmakers. When it comes to making katana's or zanpakuto's most of the time the tsuba is the most unique part of the sword. It is the part of the katana which has most of design. So I drew up these closely detailed and accurate measurements of these tsuba's. With these tsuba's they act as a reference when your going to attempt to make the sword. If you use a scene from a anime or manga to make use reference for your tsuba, it might be flawed. So I have saved you the trouble and drawn them all out clearly, with measurements so you can print and cut them out.

Claymore - "THE" Claymore: In the anime Claymore there are monsters called "yomi" that feast on humans. However an unamed organisation trains young girls to become warriors and they exterminate Yomi armed with their swords which much resemble a scottish claymore. Since the orginisation and female warriors have know official name, the people have dubbed them "claymores". The swords they wield are claymores which are made of a mysterious nigh-unbreakable metal. Each Claymore has a signature etched onto the blade as an indication to the user. The Claymore is the icon.

Fate/Stay Night - Caliburn: Caliburn is the holy sword that symbolizes England's king of knights, king Arthur, which he pulled from the stone of selection under the guidance of the magus Merlin. Saber has stopped aging since then. It is the golden sword Emiya Shirou traces in the Fate route of Fate/stay night when driven into a corner. It looks like Excalibur, but it is a symbol of the king's authority; as an ornament, it has lost its effectiveness as a weapon compared to Excalibur, in exchange of that beauty.

Important Notes:

. ALL these guards slide into swords with a thicnkess of 5 mm and 30 mm long, there are some exceptions.
.The parrallel lines are the rims of the guards that you cut out of balsa wood and glue onto the main guard.
.Download the full version, then copy and paste it, print it off then cut it out with scissors.
.Once it the paper tsuba is cut out, then draw around it with a pencil on the wood, then cut it out to finish.
