:star: The Zanpakuto 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. The tsuba is what makes the zanpakuto a one of a kind. 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.

:bulletblue: Haineko: Hmm this guard turned out alot more detailed then I expected. This guard is suppose to look like a cat so I had to make this guard very slender yet the ears very pointy. This resulted in a very long and thin guard XD. I also remembered that this guard does not look the same as it does on the other side becuase the handle takes up alot of space so those lines around the middle have to be more spaced out.

:bulletblue: Wabisuke: This guard is relatively easy to make I mean its a rectangle with a dead easy outside rim that an 8 year old could do XD. But making 4 of those identicle curves will be hard and positioning them in the exact plave even harder. With this design it does not matter about spacing for the handle side becuase theres quite enough to squeeze in.

:bulletblue: 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.

Envy and greed are the motivating forces of ambition - and without ambition, very little of any importance would be accomplished.

--
On second thoughts, disregard that.
:iconlordviral:
Honorable swordmaker you are. I bow to your skill.

Chioky, I would love to request more Arrancar guards but they haven't been shown much in the manga/anime =(

Keep up with this high motivation for swordmaking!

By the way, I've finished sawing out and sanding down Ulquiorras guard :)

--
Have you ever wished you could legally own a katana?
:iconchioky:
and most of the arrancar guards are 3D Which becoms insanly hard to make and draw XD

My motivation for swordmaking currently is like a candle flame agaisnt an F5 Hurricane

ooh you finished making ulquirras guard I cant wait to see it XD
