Japanese Saw canvas protective sleeve

Hida Tools may be sold out of the one you want, but maybe another will do.

Also, do you know anybody who can sew? There is not much work involved in making them.

thank you. i searched but obviously not with the right term!

For saws i would go with one that has protective sleeves. Otherwise the saws are going to slice up the case. I have had good luck with the suede one i got from Highland tools:

Years ago, I bought one of these sets from Tajima – https://www.tajimatool.com/product/japan-pull-set/
The saw blades are not my favorites, but the case has held up very well.
The canvas case I made for my other saw blades has also lasted a long time, but I keep using the plastic blade guards that came with the blades.

I should not really badmouth the Tajima blades like that, either.
I don’t use them for fine work, but they are my go-to workhorse blades for cutting lumber.

Cut a leg off an old pair of jeans. Secure with a wrap of Velcro. I use the plastic trim from the pebbly plastic panels used in restrooms for edge guard. If too large, I squeeze it flatter with pliers or a vice. It will hold on hacksaw blades by squeezing.

A local leather worker could make one for you. He would borrow you saw to get measurements for it. and will make one for you like the one Highland Woodworking offers. Or if you have a Hobby of Craft store near you. You could buy the materials and make one. Leather from the fabric store and rivets from the craft store. This leather rivet can be set with just a ball pen hammerhttps://www.amazon.com/Tandy-Leather-Copper-Rivet-11280-01/dp/B004353PDW/ref=sr_1_130?adgrpid=1342504261419275&hvadid=83906839023401&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=107655&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvtargid=kwd-83906861088232%3Aloc-190&hydadcr=4860_13229928&keywords=rivets+for+leather&qid=1653455146&sr=8-130 . The rivet kits I have are for making leather wallets.

i like the idea to have one sewed, but the immediate volume of work for the lady who hems my trousers is focused on prom & bridal gowns.

maybe towards the end of summer i can coerce her into making them!

Or you could get a more formal one made from her scraps. Maybe a nice royal blue taffeta or something!

Well, the cut off jeans and a roll of Velcro will get you by until then. Not fancy, but it protects the saw.

Everybody deserves to have a nice outfit, even if they only wear it once a year. :)

now … if this isn’t a weird idea ….

after watching this video ( https://youtu.be/RSpuLLQ1-FA ), and seeing how bulky they are, i wondered “could a saw case be made from kydex?”

anyone have pros or cons to the idea? maybe even have done it?

thanks
