I don't think rattan was used on these but yes they were 2 handed. Nice one Bill. On one side is there a thicker "flat" side on the blade near the handle? If so , this is where one could place a second hand to reinforce the chopping motion for beheading or certain swing slashes that cannot be done with a kampilan.
