Nice sword. One thing to always check with a handle like this with this type of ribbing is whether or not the grip is wootz. Some of these will etch out with a nice wootz pattern which would take it up a notch in the nicety category.

This time at home I did not have much time to see if the handle is wootz or not, but thanks for the idea, I'll look into that next time I am home.

Nice sword you have, congratulations.
Hi Rick, you are right, quite a number of these hilts are wootz.
Khorasan was a centre for production of very fine and dark wootz, so no wonder that many of these hilts are made of wootz.
