Hi all!! I know you have seen a plethora of these, but it's my second one and I'm really happy with it: nice blade lamination, nice carvings, nice patination of the wood, iron guard...

I'd like to restore the hilt rattan wrapping so any suggestion is welcome!! I already find the old treads to how weave rattan.
Especially I'd like to know the width of the rattan I need. Attached are also a couple of pictures of Rick's kampilan, I'd like to do something like that.
Thank you an HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
