Fred Lohman was recommended to me by Master Professor Bill Grossman (my kenpo and iaido instructor). I'm very pleased with his work! It was away for about 2 weeks while he worked on it. The original parts I kept were the tsuba, menuki, habaki and of course the actual blade. I paid Fred Lohmn (japanese-swords.com) to make me a brand new handle as well as paid him for a new generic black saya (scabbard) since the original was very beaten up.
