It is shaped like a nail and placed in the holes that are made in the same area as the blade and handle. The Fuchi is the metal tube between the handle and guard that holds the Tsuka and the other parts together. But if the handle is too polished and smooth, like sanded wood, you may lose your grip if your hands are sweaty. Surprisingly, these pieces of decor are also very useful! When the surface is bumpy, it’s easier to hold. These works of art show animals, flowers, parts of nature, or personal symbols that will be important to the person who will own the sword in the future. These are small, intricate symbols and sculptures stuck on top of the wrapping of the ray-skin Menuki. Most of the time, the Same is white or a color that stands out from the Menuki so it can be seen. The layer is made of leather, stingray skin, or the belly of a shark, whereas some cheaper Katanas consist of plastic. The layer under the cotton is the Same or Samegawa (string). This wrapping process is called Tsukamaki and is a skill that takes time and practice to learn and master. The smooth piece of wood is wrapped tightly with this colorful string to increase friction and make it easier to hold. The patterned wrap around the wooden handle is called the Tsuka Ito and is made of cotton or silk. The main parts of the Tsuka consists of the following: Tsuka Ito Many swordsmiths in Japan and worldwide take pride in creating these unique handles. The Tsuka is the Japanese word for the Katana handle. The handle is mostly straight, and the Katana only starts to curve from the Tsuba (Katana’s guard). Although the handle might seem very curved from a distance, that isn’t the case. The Katana handle does have a very soft curvature. So when looking to buy a handle, make sure that its weight falls in this range. ![]() This makes it very light to use while offering a fantastic grip and giving more power and strength to the user. The weight of the Katana handle is usually 300 – 400 grams. In addition, the ability to use both hands instead of just one produces a lot of power and a firm grip. The handle’s longer length will enable you to wield the Katana much easier. The handle length is proportionate to the Katana blade, which is ⅓ of its total size. The average Katana handle is 25 – 30 cm long, and the blade is 60 – 70 cm long. Of course, some cheaper modern Katana handles are made from plastic too, but the wood offers much better grip and sturdiness. The Katana handle is mainly made of wood.
