Stephen,

 

have a close look at the HABAKI - it does not fit. Seems to be split as well.

lol did not look up, looks like its in the wrong one, the split part is a eazy fix, we have a post here somewhere on making rice glue.

Thanks for the translation! The saya isn't original and I don't have a handle either, anyone you guys recommend to make a shirasaya

John Tirado, Samuel Rediske, Randy Black, Bob Benson, Moses Becerra, Ted Tenold, Keith Larman, heck even Fred Lohman... lots of choices for shirasaya, some more stringently traditional than others but all of them should be fine to store your blade.
