Tsuba & Kashira & Fuchi
The tsuba (鍔, or 鐔) is usually a round (or occasionally squareish) guard at the end of the grip of bladed Japanese weapons, like the katana and its various variations, tachi, wakizashi, tantō, naginata etc. They contribute to the balance of the weapon and to the protection of the hand. The tsuba was mostly meant to be used to prevent the hand from sliding onto the blade during thrusts as opposed to protecting from an opponent's blade.
The kashira is a butt cap (or pommel) on the end of the tsuka.
The fuchi is a hilt collar between the tsuka and the tsuba.
Tsuka-ito is the wrapping of the tsuka, traditionally silk but today more often cotton and sometimes, leather. The sageo is the cord used to tie saya to the belt/obi when worn. Usually, the color of ito and sageo is the same one. You need specify which color is for ito and which for sageo if you want them to be different color.
Samegawa is the ray skin used to cover or wrap the handle.
The saya is a wooden scabbard for the blade; traditionally done in lacquered wood.
