Beautiful!!
I know nothing about these swords. Any corelation between the brittleness of the handle scale material and the size/number of rivets? I imagine it would be harder to drill the larger rivet holes in more brittle material like jade, agate and turqoise, than in softer material like wood, horn and ivory. Hence the use of multiple thinner pins/rivets. |
