Greetings, I’m looking to see if anyone could point me in the direction of an individual that can traditionally re-wrap the handle “Tsuka” that I just received in the traditional way to the same “similar” color as originally Type 94. I can supply the Mekugi. Here are some very not great photos from a friend that a bought the sword from. Thanks again God Bless

If you find someone please post back. I've been hearing that a lot of the "good" ones who do tsuka-maki only take on higher end work. 

 

$200 for David Mcdonald to do a re-wrap on a katana seems like a very reasonable price.

David McDonald gets the most mentions:

Japanese Swords, Antique swords, WWII swords, Tsuka-maki, Translations, Restoration, Sell, Buy (montanairon.com)

 

Chris Lohman also advertises the craft.  Don't recall hearing any word-of-mouth on his work:

Japanese Sword Restoration Parts & Supplies - Fred Lohman Company (Japanese-swords.com)

 

There are many others, though.

Looks like Chris is dead?
