need help

Ariel, it would be nice if you could get an older bondolan with good form, and of the right size so that proportion is correct, however, if you find that you can't tick all the boxes, bear in mind that ideally, a hilt should not be markedly lighter in colour than the scabbard.

Your scabbard is very dark, so really, you need a hilt of probably the same, or similar material, and in a bondolan, this will be quite difficult.

Even though a bondolan would look good with this scabbard, in the end, you might find that you need to go with a figural hilt.

So, although bondolans may come up from time to time, you need:- good form, good proportional size, a dark colour.

Good luck!
