I got this cojang with a nice laminated blade. I think the copper is replaced later to pimp it up. Does not look fitting to the style of the grip.

Hello Thomas,
Good work on the blade! Quote:
Maybe a suasa ferrule got replaced later by a copper ferrule. Have it tested and you might be pleasantly surprised though! ![]() Regards, Kai |

I agree that a ferrule is original to this piece.
This one looks like a replacement considering the carftmenship that has been put into it. I would be surprised if it is suasa. Is there any place where you can see that the piece is welded together ? Best regards, Willem |

The patina in the pictures look like recent copper patina. Swassa doesn't patina like that so easily.
Again only a jeweler can test and tell for sure if it is copper or swassa. |
