I absolutely agree. You can see the marks where the two a sang-asang were so clearly you would not be at risk of personal invention there.
I often wonder about re-wrapping as i have a kris that i would like to do this with. I know we have touched on it before, but can someone point me to good instructions for traditional wrapping? I also wonder, does the style of the wrap differ from tribe to tribe (and, of course, era to era) amongst the Moro?
