Wilah from?

[Harley]

Thanks Mr Maisey, that is a very big compliment!

When i looked at it in real live, it seemed OK to me, but in the picture i does look
a bit to long.
It's no problem to get the proportions of the picture when you got the height,
but i now have the reference of this one, and a couple of nice examples!
If i get it right i shall post a picture here.
Thanks everyone for helping out!

regards,
Ben

Hi Harley,

great job you have done! The handle look a little bit to big/long but still ok!

Very nice result,

Thanks Guys,

Kind of stupid of me, i had made this hilt in sections, now i have shorted it a bit, let me now what you think.
I am still gonna make a new one, but if this is more in the direction, it's easier to get the proportion.

Ben

By the way, this is not the original blade, thats why it don't correspond with the middle

Look much better!

I promised a picture of the hilt when it was ready, i have chosen a whole different kind of hilt, because i didn't get the proportions right.
It's still not completely finessed, i must sand it a little more, and i want to make it darker so it fit's more by the sheath.

regards,
Ben

Ben,
It looks a good job but be sure that the sizes of the 11 notches are well balanced (not clear from your picture but the bottom notch seems smaller than the others, see an old specimen from Lombok for reference).
