Hello all,
This is my first post in this forum subsection, so please bear with any mistakes I make.
I recently picked up a saber blank from a maker for whom I have the highest regard.
I am hoping for someone who can work with me for an exquisite hilt/ I am keen for recommendations on hilt types too. Essentially it should be something that shows off the maker's mark as well as is possible to remove ( a recessed pommel nut, A Trim esque)
Any recommendations and thoughts are welcome please. PS: I am left handed, so ideally the hilt would accommodate an ambidextrous hold. Was looking at the swiss saber hilt, or basket- hilt/ mortuary esque, but am open to other thoughts
Kind regards and thanks all for reading Rann

Try Darkwood Armory. I've gotten several custom hilts from them.

Thank you Barnaum, looking at them too. Unfortunately, I am not sure if I am equipped to do it myself, which is why I was looking at finding someone to do the rehilting and scabbard for me. Was hoping to find recommendations from the community as well as to who to reach out to. Darkwood has some amazing hilts, thank you for the resource.

Danelli Armouries is another exquisite maker that I think would be a great fit for that blade. I'm not sure how to contact them, though, as their website seems to be broken...
