Recomendations?

[Wickstrom]

Hello

 

I was looking to get new koshirae for a shinto wakizashi in Gunto mounts i just purchased and was wondering if anybody had any recommendations for good lacquered saya makers and other fittings.

 

Thanks

Maybe you could click on the search button just under the title page and put in restoration or saya makers etc. I know it is a bit of a pain but when I first joined it saved a lot of repeat answers unless you are looking for specific items

Hi!

 

There is also Thomas L. Buck

Kind regards,

in Dr. Buck's site he mentions that he no longer makes new sayas.

he recommends Mike Virgadamo, who lives in Pasadena, CA -- he is listed in the phone book.

 

i second his recommendation for three reasons: i have seen his work, and his carving methods personally; he has been doing it for 30 years; he is a personal friend and partly responsible for intensifying my interest in nihonto. give him a call.
