Description

: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.

Kazeshini: Its amazing how he has rarely ever uses his sword hisagi that is, but there are so many pictures of it XD. This is quite an easy tsuba to make all I have to mention is the larger outer rim of the tsuba is higher then the inner embossed features. So If the inner features are 1mm thick then the outer edges are 3mm. This tsuba is basically lines so its easy.

Tobiume: Now this sword is unique and why? not becuase it has poorly drawn flowers but that the blade width is 40mm wide!!. This is of course to fit in the awakended zanpakuto version not the unreleased. I was wondering if the circles on either end of the tsuba were too large but they were in proportion to everything else. But oh my god I could not draw 6 identicle flowers XD im sorry but you might have to draw them out again if your going to make it ^^.

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.

Thanks for the Tsuba designs and the swordmaking tutorial! I made Tobiume for my Momo cosplay and without you I would have had no idea how to tackle that project :)
