SKU MGJ222 is a used kinko kodzuka, the small decorated handle of the utility knife carried in the scabbard of a Japanese sword. The ground is shakudo finished in nanako, the punched-dot texture, and the subject is a folded parasol with tendrils and leaves, tied to its shaft by a silver bow. The piece is signed Goto with a kao, the maker's cursive seal, and the supplier grades it in excellent condition.

This one suits a Texas collector building a set of Goto-school soft-metal fittings or completing a koshirae that is missing its kodzuka. The signature and kao give it a documented attribution, which matters more on a small fitting than on a blade, and the excellent grade means the nanako and the inlaid parasol should show well under a glass. There is nothing firearm-related here, so the purchase is a plain parcel order. Check the photos for the fit you need, as no dimensions are listed.
