about a year ago i got permission from MR Debraga to reproduce the sword handles that he made, the sword from the 3rd movie and this little deal that was never released.... this is my carbon fiber De Braga 'First Tatsu' tsuka, mounted on a full tang through hardend blade, and weathered. i am still making the tang pin from brass scrap but i wanted to show her off... shes thinner than my De Bragas third tatsu but its still beautiful... i put a thinner tsuba on it and rounded the hard edges on it to give it a more smooth look to match the handle... the wash was a few light coats of an off white grey, then i polished the highest points then sealed it, i emailed MR debraga and he suggested a differant wash that ill try next...
