Item number: HJDZ11 Item Type: Standard Habaki Condition: New, unused, no damages Size: 3 * 3.2 * 0.85 cm, (fit for the blade which is 3.2 * 0.7cm) Application: Used for Katana, Wakizashi or Tanto The habaki is a piece of metal encircling the base of the blade of a Japanese sword. It has the double purpose of locking the tsuba (guard) in place, and to maintain the weapon in its saya (scabbard). The habaki will cause normal wear and tear inside the scabbard, so it is normal if there is scratch on. And either a shim or a total replacement of the scabbard may be needed to remedy the issue as it will become too loose over time. Removing the habaki and oiling it after cutting or once every few months is recommended.
