Ian, just so you know, i was over at Mang Ven's shop this past january. absolutely nothing to write home about: even he admits the supply over all is pretty much dried up. other than that, the place still looks the same tho...

Thanks Spunger. I haven't been back there for several years. Sorry to hear the supply has dried up. He had a good pipeline for many years.
Glad to hear Mr Ven is still going strong. He had some health issues a while back, but obviously not enough of a problem to keep him away from the shop. Michael, I really like that example you show. Definitely a similar style as Dan's hilt. Nice use of rattan on the handle. Ian |
