Hi All,

Looking for a reputable saya restoration specialist in the us who could do a restoration for me . Looking at purchasing a katana in mounts from a us seller and have him send to someone for saya work.

I can recommend Mr. Zenon Van Damme in Belgium, he had professionally restored for me an antique saya with black urushi.

His web site is http://www.japaneseart.be/index.asp?taal=uk

Yes..but not in the US

Not sure if Robert Soanes also does saya or whether he keeps to armour restorations. But also not in the USA.

I have heard Moses Becerra tackles saya restorations in the US. Worth going through the commercial links above, as well as those on Dr Stein's site at http://home.earthlink.net/~steinrl/sites2.htm

I have seen several saya that were done by John Tirado, and the work was spectacular. Another name to toss in the ring
