yep.. the wood inside the handle pretty much shrunk, and in the process, pushed the tang out, so i had to re-drill it.
lucky thing, the baka2x survived, considering the strap wasn't attached and it slid pretty easy. @ gene: a new thread on what's your sword's name? please start it, that's be cool, lol... |

sounds good, gene!
detlef, i already did. not your typical bold typographic type lamination, instead it's very subtle and tight pattern but very hard to catch on camera, mostly close to the edge. didn't want to turn it black by etching it some more, so i just left it as it is. dank je, maurice!!! of note is the fuller on blade. kinda remind me of some european style... |

Beautiful Kris Spunjer, An absolutely stunning silver hilt and beautiful blade. Maybe one of these days I'll be lucky enough to find something like this. My congratulations to you on this beautiful piece and the fine restoration work you have done.
