Kino Thanks for the clarification. What I thought I saw as well worn okir may just be scratches.

Interesting kris!

Want to remember this one from my collection: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=15589
The rattan binding at this one was done clearly to secure the pommel which was loose when I get it. Now it is reglued and someone who don't know that it is reglued will ask himself for which reason the rattan bindings are.

Regards,

Detlef

Can i ask of Detlef and anyone else who has re-glued a pommel on one of these swords what glue they used or would suggest? I have a loose pommel and i would like to avoid the rattan method.

Hello David,

it was used wood glue for boat building.

I probably should have been more specific. Would any of your glue choices chance if the pommel was ivory?

In this case I would use two-component adhesive.

Frankly, I find the 2-ton epoxy works fine. If I need to take it off again, I can use heating the blade just as if it I had used pitch. This is also what Sajen is talking about.
