Hi, first post here and it's been almost 20 years since my infatuation with knives and knifemaking, but I was cleaning the garage and came across a couple of blades I had ground by Bob Engnath. Never got around to making the sheath/handles and was wondering if someone could point me in a direction to someone who would be willing to take on the task of doing it. I'm including the photo of the blades and a concept drawing someone else (credit: RiderV3) did because it illustrates kind of what I want. I have two blades, one is more traditional tanto (about 14" total length), the other is kind of a damascus dagger. Thanks for any help.

Do you care if it is traditionally done? If so, do you mean full mount (for the traditional tanto), or shirasaya (resting/storage mount)?

For the best, go with http://summerchild.com/summer.html . That is Keith Larman's website. Keith was a friend of the late Bob Engnath and would be honor to mount your blade.

Another less expensive option is Fred Lohman at http://www.japanese-swords.com/
