**Keiichi Okushi at Tenkaraya, can probably get whatever brand , shape, color, size of tamo net you want.**
In the custom order section of his website you can see where someone had previously ordered 3 different nets and other items.
If you have a link to what you want, terrific. But if you do not. Just describe to him what you are looking for via an inquiry. He will probably send back to you some links to nets that match his understanding of what you wanted. Pick one of them or refine your net description and try again. Keiichi-san is really very helpful for obtaining that sort of thing.
If you haven’t already tried that path , I would advise to do so. Nets are very light weight, shipping cost from Japan ought to be low cost. [books and magazines otoh are heavy , and costly to ship, shipping cost equal to or more than the cost of the book]

Small world. I have similar small saw, had it for years, purchased for cutting wood to make boat models. Then never finished the models I started. And same style knife, purchased on Amazon, to score cut lines on 2 x 6 lumber when I was replacing some boards in our deck.

the rim is the juniper root, the handle is a piece of pine.

Found a stick on the shore of the White Sea. Drawing handles created bugs.

Nice tamo!
I hope this isn’t considered a dumb question.
I think all the videos I’ve seen with anglers using the tamos with the steeply angled handle shows them orienting the handle downward to net fish; the same way the handle is pointing downward to secure it under a belt. Is it possible to orient the handle upwards when netting a fish to extend the reach so the angler doesn’t need to stoop as far over to reach the fish?

Thanks Brian, good question. I think the angle of the handle may be different. These photos are from the Japanese Museum of Fisheries and at all Tamo a different angle. They were originally straight.
 
I wonder when Tamo began to do with curved handles? Who first came up with this form? 
I don’t wear tamo behind my back, under my belt. Behind me is a small backpack. Tamo weighs on the left strap of the backpack, I feel so comfortable.😁
