Hi Rick,
There is some information on whalebone hilts and guards on kampilan on the Ethno Forum, including this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=21204 Rick Stroud (RSWORD) also has a nice example on his web site, and I have taken the liberty of downloading a couple of his pics... . |

Thank you all for your replies!
What is bothering me, are the 'lines' or 'grains' on this specific area of the keris hilt, which you can see in the photo. I don't find this on all of the whalebone examples posted..... Regards, Maurice |

Hi Maurice,
It's the same that bothered me, your handle looks somewhat different than the shown whalebone examples.  Regards, Detlef |
