pcfarrar Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 I have a spare pair of Naval menuki. Nice gilt ones, I can do them for $50 incuding shipping. Quote
Grey Doffin Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 David McDonald in Montana, USA does nice work reasonably. jswords (at) mcn.net Grey Quote
Stephen Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 seen your other post wanting a handle, you have one that just needs to be re wraped, David does a great job with Peters nukes your good to go. Quote
samurai1 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Posted May 7, 2009 The handle looks good on that side , but not so nice on the other side missing a big chunk of ray skin and wood is cracked but I will let a expert look at it before I buy a replacement. Quote

Stephen Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 good idea on the nuks, David can repair your tsuka, fix it all, hes very good. if he has to rebild the core its a bit more,and same is replaced and dyed black to match. id leave the leather cover on as thats the way it came. Be sure to read Greys post on how to care for the blade, oiling and ect. Quote
samurai1 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Posted May 7, 2009 Thank you Guys for all your help and advice! I was able to remove leather cover with out damage to leather or rayskin WOW excellent looking scabbard :D . I plan to send handle to Dave with menukis I will post pics when sword is complete. Best regrards Quote
b.hennick Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 At the Chicago show David rewrapped a handle for me. He had to do some work on it to make the fuchi kashira fit better. He also had to change the position of the menuki. That required replacing some missing same. I am pleased with the job. He was unhappy with how it looked when he first rewrapped it so he redid the work on his own without a word from me. He wants satisfied customers. All in all I am very happy to have it done at the show. No waiting no shipping no problem! Here is yet another reason to attend a show. I also saw David rework a habaki or two at the show - much to the satisfaction of the owner. Quote
