WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING CUSTOM SAYA WORK AT THIS TIME!
A new saya is made by hand to fit your sword with a hand rubbed lacquer finish with a clear topcoat. The core is made of a single piece of poplar split down the middle and carved out by hand to fit your sword. Water buffalo koiguchi, kojiri, and kurikata are carved and fitted to the blank. Koiguchi and kojiri are left higher than the wood to allow them to be flush with the finished lacquer. Each coat of lacquer partially dissolves the previous one. This provides a very thick homogeneous durable finish. The down side is that this thick finish takes a very long time to fully cure. Once cured, the koiguchi and kojiri are filed down to be flush with the lacquer. The lacquer and horn fittings are sanded is progressively finer abrasive and then polished.We offer a full line of training equipment and services. We are a one stop shop for your training and collecting needs. We offer training, sharpening, and repair in addition to a full line of iaito and shinken. Buy from a company that can do more than just ship you a sword.
