VVV that is one fascinating and wonderful hilt - I LOVE the knotwork carving!
 Would you post a closeup? |

Thanks,
That's the only one I have seen with that kind of hilt (so far). Here are the only two I could find at the moment (as I am not at home now). Michael |

Sorry Jose,
Maybe a bit late but here are the close ups. I still haven't seen any other with the same knotwork-motifs Michael |

I love the hilt as well. Great carving! Do you think it was ever been covered or bound on the handle?? Seems that the material would break or crack very easily otherwise, especially the way a latok strikes and the pressure on the hilt.

Yes, probably it had some rattan that was lost.
Usually they have a high metal collar. Michael |

I just received my first, what I believe to be a Parang Latok.It is a simple but elegant piece, which unfortunately is missing a ferrule ; I wonder would a brass or silver collar or even brass or silver wire be an appropriate repair ?
