In this video, I used a iaito of Ryan Sword and cut down the tsuka a little bit to make the sword more balance
After that,I thin the tsuka with a small wooden plane, sanding it to smooth and cut in two trench each side to apply the new samegawa
I used the tradition method to wrap the ito so I need a Kusune stick made by resin, vegetable oil and bee wax
I folded many hishigami made by washi paper to wrap in the tsuka, using my awl to wrap and a big clip to hold the ito
In the end, I wrap the ura and omote knot by using 2 thin steel leaf,can cut the soda can and sanding it, tape it to the end of the ito and use it to thread through the knot
And look the result, the tsuka now is tight and good balance for practice, I reuse the old ito so it a little bit dirty, but it still good
