Looking to have my Nodachi fit in Koshirae


Recommended Posts

Posted

After about 93 years, Huawei has finished my Nodachi I commissioned

however, I ordered it in Shirasaya, and I have given up Saya making (just discovered that I don’t really like doing it)

so I’m looking for someone (preferably based in the U.S) who can make tsuka and saya for this big ol’ sword. 
does anyone know who can do this for me? I’ve already got all the metal fittings for it 

any guidance is a God send, thank you.

Not Nihonto (I assume you mean Hanwei, don't think Huawei makes swords?)
Will leave this here in case others have some suggestions.

It is Huawei but not the one you are thinking of :laughing:. They actually make nice Chinese blades in the $500-$1000 range. That thing is massive.

There is Brian Tschernega that does exceptional work out on the west coast. There is also John Tirado on the east coast that works professionally.  

 

A word of note; the prepurchase of fittings may or may not work out.

Huawei swords, not Hanwei.

I fully intended what I wrote
