Japanese handle wrap supplies?

[Daniel Macina]

Do any of y’all Know of a reliable place to get silk (Or Possibly cotton?) sageo and Samé (Rayskin) for traditional Japanese handle wraps? Hopefully I’m using the right terminology.

Thank y’all!

I know you can get real rayskin at Old School Knifeworks in Otto N.C. https://www.oldschoolknifeworks.com/

I picked up a bag of scrap rayskin on eBay from pelgioleather for under $16 shipped. Don't know what size you're looking for. There was enough for 3-4 knife handles in what I picked up.
