Your blade is really looking nice, As to the mountings there are a number of options other than rattan, One that I have always liked is owned by Mark and has metal mesh on the handle
  
Or another idea is one on an older feeling dha 
   
Those are just a couple, there are many more options as well | 
	
 I'm looking forward for reading Ian's presentation.
I presume the metal mesh is much more difficult to make...
