Need new Tsuka in So Cal

[tphan]

Hello,

 

I would like a new tsuka for my blade. Who does a good job making new ones? Would like a maker in So Cal so I can drop off/pick up; I don't really want to mail my blade. Any leads would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Tom

David McDonald in Montana does excellent work. I know of no one in S. Cal.

I second David. Long ago I heard about a Mike Vergamano.. Not sure of the last name. Perhaps the name will make the connection for you.

Tom,

 

Shipping swords within the US using Priority Mail is absolutely safe. For not much more (compared to values of swords), you can ship using Priority Express.

not sure if that information is up to date, but i've seen his shirasaya work and it is good.

 

keith larman in altadena might do it for you as well.
