Please don't do this, the scabbards from dua lalans are every time wrapped with rotan, removing the the rotan would destroy the original appearance. This can be restored properly, see for example here:

I just would let it like this until you find someone who will be able to do it good. By my example are also missing bone inlays at the handle. I think they used fish bone for this, the bone is extreme hard stuff! Not every fault need to get restored, it's an antique piece, missing small pieces add character!
