Since i started to make some sayas, for my self but also for some of my customers that want saya with they knives.
I bought my self Saya nomi ( Chisel for sayas)
It is custom ordered from a very skild blacksmith, 85 years old Okazaki Takeshi from Sanjo. He making chisels mostly from White steel.
As he do not have any to fallow his work , these will be the last chisels from his generation !
Steel: White 2 (high carbon)
Handle: Red Oak
Chisels total length is 470mm
Blade length 230mm
Blade width 25mm
Blade thickness 3,9mm
This is totally handmade and made one by one, so they can vary in size and thickness. Unevenness in finish can occur.
