mekugi pin

Any recommendation on where to get the replacement pin? The pin broke while removing the tsuka. Thanks

Ian,

 

make one yourself from a bamboo chopstick.

[Grey Doffin]

Yes, and don't delay. The pin is very important. Grey

Ikea sell a multi-pack of decent quality ones.

You may want to go the above route, but if you got a bit of time and use a chopstick temporarily, you can order smoked bamboo from Namikawa (as well as a few other things to justify shipping $$). That's what I did, then made my own pegs. The smoked bamboo won't change as easily due to relative humidity like untreated bamboo (or any other wood) will.

Thrift shops often have bamboo knitting needles. You might be surprised by how common they are
