I have been given a few names, but so far the only response I got was with a price higher than the value of the sword.  All I need is the ito, as the rayskin is still in place.  It is just a WWII gunto, but I want it to be complete.

If I remember correctly, I had a gunto tsuka re-wrapped for around $300 and it needed new silk ito. I sent my sword to David McDonald, but I am not sure if he is still accepting new jobs. I was very pleased with the result.

Maybe Cottontail Customs? I think he's accepting work again, but I'm not sure of the price? As above I don't think you will find anyone that does quality work for under $300 There were a couple who did great work for good prices but they're no longer doing tsukamaki.  

 

You seem to have at least a decent amount of the ito left. I would try and repair as much as you can.
