Much like @ChefShramrock I've decided to give saya making (another) go during these glorious times. I have made a handful in the past, but kids, work and lack of space changed my ability drastically.
I even bought some koa, walnut and ringed gidgee (from Mert himself) about 5 years ago. Now I'm finally trying to use them.
First though came practice sayas, with lesser expensive wood like poplar. Some came out ok, and gave me a bit more confidence to plug fwd and plunge into this.
To start off with here's one I made about 6 years ago for a western Kato and a Harner. The one for the Harner was my first one I ever made. And that knife was one serious badass cutter!
