There’s a reason silk ito is the standard for handle wrapping: it’s beautiful, durable, and holds up well under the rigors of regular use. Because silk will stretch tight during the wrapping process without breaking, this material also allows for a tighter wrap that will not shift as you practice throughout the years.
Silk ito also comes in the widest variety of colors. Choose something that reflects your personal aesthetic while retaining a traditional look and feel. Choose from our wide selection of ito to achieve the look you’re seeking.
A note on ito width: silk ito comes in different widths for different kinds of projects.
Katana tsuka: 10mm width
Wakizashi tsuka: 8mm width
Tanto tsuka: 6mm width
Leather ito typically comes in only one width, so if you want to maintain different ito widths for different handles in a daisho, then silk is your best option.
