: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: Gamuza: Heh this sword just got released not too long ago from the manga its quite quick to be made XD. When drawing this out I didnt actually know if the lines moved away around the center to form those triangles. Then I found out the corners had to be more pointy and needed to increase the lengh of the guard more XD

:bulletblue: Sakanade: Holy god this guard is confusing it involves SO many complicated lines. I was only able to draw it so accurately becuase typhoidmary had already made the sword and I used it as a reference. But gosh cutting it out will be easy BUT actually making all the lines embossed on the on the wood is gonna be hell to make it accurate XD. I just shudder at the thought of this.

: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.

Yeah, sadly, only one side is complete. I could do the other in a short period. It's pretty easy to do any of them, as long as they aren't curved. Those take a lot more work.

Also, I don't have any proper machines for them, but hey, they're up. Besides, working in CAD is a fun little thing to do. I'll probably do some more tonight. Like Grimmjaw's...
