[QUOTE="RickN, post: 4349885, member: 8854"] Looking thru our daughters house to see how hard it is going to be to clean it out since she was just short of being a hoarder. Found that she had picked up a nice decorative Katana at a garage sale that she was planning on giving me for Christmas. I plan to keep it as a reminder of her and named it after her. Only problem is the wood saya is crap and held together by electrical tape. Also has a hole or two in it. I found some on the web but they are cheap Chinese junk. While the sword is not the greatest, it is not bad for 440C stainless and is even semi-sharp. I want a decent saya for it even if I have to try making it myself. Plus I really do not want to give the Chinese any money if I can help it. I was just wondering if anyone here had tried making one, was interested in making one, or knew of someplace I could pick up some hardwood reasonably to make it myself. Some videos on the web showing how to do it and I think I can. Might need to use someones band saw for a bit but I think I have all the other tools I need. [/QUOTE]
