I have two options,

I can cover it with plain leather black or brown.
May be with printed motives (with hot iron).

My second option is more ambitious, to cover the hilt with
a geometric design of metal wire.
I have seen on many kattara.
But I don't know which kind of wire to use
and how to proceed...

Many thanks in advance

Looking around I remembered a post on a thread which has been moved to the non weapon forum see #17 at http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=15083

I note from the same thread that you may in fact be visiting Oman ... It may be advisable to wait until that time to collect up the spare parts you need or to sort out a renovation whilst you are here...
