Default My first Gunong

Hello all,

I am very pleased to show off my first Gunong, a little beauty (IMHO). Many thanks to Detlef for advising me on this one

A woodworker friend is keen to know what timber the handle is made from if anyone can hazard a guess.

The silver guard is a little loose, hence the string put there by a previous owner to keep things tight: any tips on how to firm things up?

I will give the silver fittings a light polish. The blade shows a few forging flaws and scratches, would it be worth giving this a polish and etch?

Cheers, Russel
