Jon Posted July 7, 2022 Report Posted July 7, 2022 Hi I’m trying to find someone who makes shirasaya in the U.K. I have my sword on a list for a polish ( in about two years) but need a shirasaya, any thoughts ? Quote
Mark Posted July 7, 2022 Report Posted July 7, 2022 did you ask the polisher for recommendations? Usually the polisher has a relationship with habaki makers and shirasayashi. The polisher deals with a lot of blades that need shirasaya so it seems reasonable he has options, who has he been sending his swords too? Quote
FZ1 Posted July 7, 2022 Report Posted July 7, 2022 Hi Jon, Mike Hickman-Smith. He has a waiting list of a few months, but the quality of his work is outstanding. He made one for me and it was WELL worth waiting for! Cheers Jon Quote
