I have had about 20 yards of material on order with a knifemaker who supplies a lot of us with the nylon material for doing Japanese style handle wraps, but she's waiting on her order to come through and it's been delayed over a week. I have two knives waiting on this material that I need to get out into the market, so I need probably 5 yards of material to tide me over until my order comes in. If anyone has some to spare, let me know what you have and how much you want for it. Thanks in advance!
 
Let me see what I got in stock. I was just about to call her and order some myself. :eek: (why do I wait so long to re-order?)
 
Shoot! I never got a message that I had replied! Michael, if you have even maybe 3 yards for me I could probably make do with that. I can Paypal or send a check. Email me if you can spare. I also have an email in to RW Clark, so he may have an idea for a supplier or have some to spare since he does so much of this work.

I tried looking all over the Internet (not ebay, though) and I don't know what to actually look for. I can find all types of rope, cord, etc, but not the flat nylon stuff that is goood for handles. I've tried shoelace material searches, all sorts of things and I can't come up with anything. For all I know our gal has her supply in and she forgot to hook me up, but I don't want to call/email again because I feel like I'm a PITA!
 
My ship has sailed, so I've got 30 yards on the way. I figured tsukamaki would give me just the silk stuff, but it's worth a try. Thanks!
 
where'd ya get it chiro? I need some myself.....got a good supplier?
