PhoenixDude Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 Im going to be making some kinran sword bags out of some recycled obi for some of my blades and was thinking if I have any extra material, would anyone be interested in a bag or two? Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 Sure, Jay - they look a lot like what I was getting ready to buy. Can you post or PM me with katana-length pricing? Ken Quote
PhoenixDude Posted May 9, 2017 Author Report Posted May 9, 2017 Need to see how much fabric ill have left first and how many people are interested. Im thinking maybe around 75 per bag, hows that sound? They are all 100% silk. Quote
Stephen Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 Im in See if one obi can make a wak bag also....for daisho Quote
Mortis Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 Definitely, count me in too. I especially like the all grey fabric and the one with mokume pattern and waves.....beautiful. All are very nice. Quote
singlechange Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 BulletSprinkler, This idea of yours to use old obi for sword bags is very good. Will your bags be hand stitched or machine stitched? Robert Quote
PhoenixDude Posted May 28, 2017 Author Report Posted May 28, 2017 Machine stiched by hand lol. Machine stitch will last longer and hold up better over time. These bags are for swords that I plan on passing down through the family, to my kids kids and so on. 1 Quote
PhoenixDude Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Posted May 30, 2017 UPDATE I have one Tanto length bag of the gold mokume silk made up for grabs, should fit a 11-12 in overall length tanto. Also have about 205cm of the mokume silk left, I could make a Tanto bag and a katana bag or 2 wak bags from it. I have 150cm left of the silver momiji silk, it has an internal lining and is very padded. Can make one Katana bag or one Wak bag, or one tanto bag but that would waste alot of it. Quote
Mortis Posted June 1, 2017 Report Posted June 1, 2017 Hello Jay. I'm not exactly sure if there's a "standard" bag length for each type of sword (I imagine there probably is), but the sword that I have no bag for measures 34 inches. How much would you be looking to get for a bag made from the mokume/wave fabric? Quote
PhoenixDude Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Posted June 1, 2017 I'm having each one made to size for whomever wants one. I will check measurements tomorrow. looking for about 95$ per bag. Quote
PhoenixDude Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Posted June 1, 2017 Yeah I should have enough for that. Quote
