Rayskin Panels for Samurai Sword Handle

Samurai Sword Rayskin Panels for Katana, Wakizashi, Ninjato, Tanto Swords

Rayskin panels refer to sections of rayskin that are applied only to the sides of the handle (tsuka) of a katana or similar swords. These panels are typically set in place before the handle is wrapped with a cord (tsuka-ito). Rayskin panels provide a more economical option while still offering some of the benefits of rayskin, such as added texture and a better grip. They are visible through the openings in the cord wrap and add a traditional touch to the handle's design.
