Helm - Tendick Collab Daisho

[BenR.T.]

Hey everyone.
This collab is a long time in the making between James and myself. Recently he started doing some more Japanese style profiles on his blades, and I have been itching to get my hands on some finish out. James style is all his own. Just raw and visceral, which I really appreicate.

I did my best to capture that well used Ronin style in this set. I made up some wrought iron tsuba and did antiqued cotton cord under the Tsuka Ito. The copper menuki feature my makers mark.

I hope whoever ends up with this set loves it as much as I do!

Let me know your thoughts!

splendid !! came out great.

Those are cool. I like the guards, and putting the BRT mark on the copper ornaments is a nice detail that distinguishes who made the blades, and who did the hilts!

 

[The Shatz]
