Shinai bag brand
Hi! I saw the team Korea during the WKC but couldn’t ask them what brand was, I tried searching in every online store I know but haven’t found anything, can someone help me? Thanks!

looks like real Alligator skin or snake skin... likely dyed silver but being I see black it might be undyed or brush dyed (for sure not textured leather to imitate croc skin)
Can either be custom made or small batch premium item from a retailer. At this point it just might be cheaper for you to find someone local to you to custom make one for you being shipping isnt cheap. If it is croc/alligator the leather itself is already 2k-3k USD for something of that length. While snake skin is way cheaper and comes naturally long but smaller details than croc/alligator skin and less durable. You can get imitation leather for much cheaper though (real leather from say a cow/goat or fake man made leather)

Found something similar here.
This is quite common in Korea for some reason. I'm just guessing it's big here since a lot of people associate budo with dragon, and snake skin is the most realistic it can go when it comes to owning a dragon skin I guess...

It may well be custom made, especially considering that material
