Thanks Dave.
So here it is with the tsuka redone. It's still large but there's no way I could've taken more away without altering the nakago. The real culprit is the ito.
I bought it along with the ray skin and the fittings from a single source on ebay. Looking back, I bought 12mm !!!! ito. It's very stretchy but what I lose in width adds to thickness.
Anyway, it feels much better and I think there's a much better flow.
