brannow Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hi All, I am looking for a source of shark skin for some saya restoration projects. Can any one help me out with a source or does any one have any for sale? Thanks and please pm me if you have any or a source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Seems a bit confusing, because shagreen seems to be either rayskin or sharkskin, and the sharkskin that I found online doesn't seem to have the "nodules" required. Hard to find though. You may want to give these guys a call: http://www.rojeleather.com/species-and- ... k-leather/ You may end up looking for small node rayskin though.

Brian Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I have a feeling Bill isn't looking for same, but is looking for proper shark skin as used on some saya like special order Gunto or other countries' swords. It has a different look to it and the nodes almost diamond shaped. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brannow Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Brian Is right! That is exactly what I am looking for. It has diamond shaped noduals like what you find on navy dirks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
