Thank you all for your kind replies. As for the wife, there will be no trades, loans or "gifting of" considered, you will have to find your own.
I am at this point now positive that she prefers Moro pieces over my own preferences as all items (save one, a spear from Laos) that she has presented to me have been Moro. Best, Robert |

Nice budiak. What is the braided material? Have you etched the blade yet?

Hello Jose, The braiding seems to be made of very finely woven rattan. As for etching, I haven't as yet done more than wipe the blade with oil. With the fine patina that it has acquired over the years I am finding it had to do much more than that.
Best, Robert |
