Custom Saya makers

[Mish_Mike]

Hey, gang. I’d like to reach out to you guys and ask if you have any recommendations for reputable custom saya makers. I did use the “search” function, but all of those threads are at least a few years old.

I would prefer someone who can build those with friction fit. Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

This guy makes some great looking stuff. I haven't ordered from him yet, but we've spoke and he seems really easy to work with. I'll be picking up a 270mm suji saya in the near future.

I've only used one maker in the US: Cody Paul (https://www.instagram.com/thegingerninja.abq/).
His craftsmanship is stellar.

Thanks for the responses and PM’s. I’ll be reaching out shortly to get specific details.

Any other way to reach Cody and Graydon than Instagram? Don't seem like they read messages there that often..

Cody Paul had taken a break from social media for a while. He recently posted he is back, & showed a round of his recent work. His work is outstanding. Edro Made sayas are nice too, for generic fit sayas. You can always make your own. It is not terribly hard.

Edro will also make a "semi custom" saya based on a tracing of the profile and spine taper.

Ed (edro) is the best human and makes great stuff. Former cook (we worked together full disclosure).
