			I'd second that motion, Rob: Congrats, very nice piece! Let me know in case you dare to let it pass in many moons...     I could certainly live without the cord wrap which definitely is a later addition out of the originating culture; now part of its history though. Most of the traditional archipelago blades come without any guard: Limited personal protection equipment. Heavily committed thrusts tend to be rare with swords; if needed, a thrust can be supported by the live hand... Regards, Kai |
