order Great skill was necessary in creating a pendant that represents the Nakago 'Tang'
Engraved with a customised 'Kanji' this piece of jewellery is truly reflective of this very revered and sacred part of the sword.
The part of the sword fitted inside the handle 'Tsuka' or pole called a Nakago is replicated in this piece of jewellery.
The Nakago is the tang of a Japanese blade called 'Ubu'. Nakago 'Jiri' (tang tip), the 'Ha Machi' and the 'Mune Machi' are in the correct position, the tang gives way to the blade.
The patina and depth of rust on the nakago is an important factor in kantei (appraisal), and so the nakago should NEVER be cleaned or polished and our craftsman have finished this pendant with a sympathetic aged effect.
The pendant measures 63mm x 15mm.and weighs a substantial 10.5 grams appx and comes with a good quality sterling silver snake chain. A 'Fighting Spirit' brand tag will be attached.
This is a numbered piece and as such is supplied in a presentation box and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Matching Cufflinks are also listed.
Handcrafted jewellery made in The Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham, Great Britain. UK.
