Habaki

The Habaki (鎺) is a piece of metal (Brass or copper) located at the base of the blade

The first role is to mate with the Koiguchi of the Saya (scabbard) to ensure the best possible fit and keep the sword safe in its sheath when not in use.

The second role of the Habaki, is to act as a shock absorber, distributing impacts to the blade before it enters the Tsuka.

Here are the different Habaki available for creating custom sabers.
