So it is my second saya, this time for my Western Shigefusa Suji, out of super old, unknown wood.
Pin for saya i made of brass rod.

Looks good, did you rehandled the knife yourself too?

**maxim** · 03-01-2012, 11:59 AM

Yes it was my first Western rehandle

But i like it a lot i like handles that is not so rounded

Great work, Maksim. How did you make it? Digging out a cavity on one side with chisels or with three layers?

**maxim** · 03-01-2012, 02:21 PM

I did it like Marko with him as inspiration, with 2 layers of wood, chisels and planeblade for forming outside
