0000 not 000
wildwolberine,
Very nice kris you have there. It deserves the best restoration effort. Since Kiwi Wood Preen is no longer available, to clean the pommel I would start out with a toothbrush and Murphy’s Oil Soap. Get it as clean as you can with that and let it dry. If it still needs more attention, I would use a wood cleaner wax (or even Meguiar’s Automotive Cleaner Wax) and 0000 steel wool (I’m sure Sajen meant 0000 and not 000). Study the existing hilt wrap you have. It doesn’t look too complex. You should be able to come up with a close approximation. Cleaning the blade will be a bear though.
Sincerely,
RobT
