: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. 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.

:bulletblue: Tensa Zangetsu: Whoever is going to be making a tensa zangetsu and I know alot of you are your gonna need this to make the perfect guard. Make sure the guard is in that position when it slides down the sword. The outer rim is mildly difficult.

:bulletblue: Sode No Shirayuki: Since I sold my Sode No Shirayuki I couldnt get the original guard so I had to redraw it again. However LOTS of people make sode no shirayuki's so your gonna need this. I wouldnt really advise using this guard but the details are all correct.

: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.

Wow, this is a lot of help. Great idea! And yeah, a lot of times things can get out of proportion. Me being a perfectionist, this part would kill me. Thank you so much!
