Does anyone know a place I can have a Replacement Saya made for my Katana? I would suppose that I will have to send my sword someplace to have this done... I haven't had much luck locating anyplace near Chicago that can do it for me...

The problem is, that as much as I LOVE my sword, I do not approve of the fit of the saya, if the sword is parked in the saya, it's IMPOSSIBLE to draw. (I have to brace the sword between my knees and pull with both hands, VERY BAD) If I leave the blade loose with the Habiki barely in the scabard, it is so loose the sword wants to fall out when I move...

I have found fingernail files to be useful for this kind of work. When I shimmed my saya I used toothpicks to shim it up and then used a fingernail file to sand it down to a perfect fit.
It'll take a long time, but it will help prevent over-sanding. Very good for fine tuning.
