Help finding some who makes shirasaya

[Jon]

Hi I’m trying to find someone who makes shirasaya in the U.K. I have my sword on a list for a polish ( in about two years) but need a shirasaya, any thoughts ?

[Mark]

did you ask the polisher for recommendations?  Usually the polisher has a relationship with habaki makers and shirasayashi. The polisher deals with a lot of blades that need shirasaya so it seems reasonable he has options, who has he been sending his swords too?

Hi Jon,

 

Mike Hickman-Smith. 
 

He has a waiting list of a few months, but the quality of his work is outstanding. He made one for me and it was WELL worth waiting for!

 

Cheers
