Thank you for viewing from among many options. Tsuka-ito (Handle Wrap) - Cowhide Nubuck - Dark Navy - 8mm Width - 1.5mm Thickness - 4m - Core Included This is a tube-shaped cowhide with a core (see image 5), making it durable. It is soft and easy to wrap. As it is natural leather, there are seams (see image 4). Recommended for Iaido and Tameshigiri (test cutting). Thank you.
