Checking For Interest...

[PhoenixDude]

Im going to be making some kinran sword bags out of some recycled obi for some of my blades and was thinking if I have any extra material, would anyone be interested in a bag or two?

 

[Ken-Hawaii]

Sure, Jay - they look a lot like what I was getting ready to buy. Can you post or PM me with katana-length pricing?

Need to see how much fabric ill have left first and how many people are interested. Im thinking maybe around 75 per bag, hows that sound?

 

They are all 100% silk.

Im in

See if one obi can make a wak bag also....for daisho

[Mortis]

Definitely, count me in too.  I especially like the all grey fabric and the one with mokume pattern and waves.....beautiful.  All are very nice.

[Randy McCall]

Definitely interested

BulletSprinkler,  This idea of yours to use old obi for sword bags is very good. Will your bags be hand stitched or machine stitched?

Machine stiched by hand lol.

Machine stitch will last longer and hold up better over time. These bags are for swords that I plan on passing down through the family, to my kids kids and so on.

UPDATE

I have one Tanto length bag of the gold mokume silk made up for grabs, should fit a 11-12 in overall length tanto.

Also have about 205cm of the mokume silk left, I could make a Tanto bag and a katana bag or 2 wak bags from it.

I have 150cm left of the silver momiji silk, it has an internal lining and is very padded. Can make one Katana bag or one Wak bag, or one tanto bag but that would waste alot of it.

Hello Jay. I'm not exactly sure if there's a "standard" bag length for each type of sword (I imagine there probably is), but the sword that I have no bag for measures 34 inches. How much would you be looking to get for a bag made from the mokume/wave fabric?

[PhoenixDude]

I'm having each one made to size for whomever wants one. I will check measurements tomorrow. looking for about 95$ per bag.

[PhoenixDude]

Yeah I should have enough for that.
