Amazing studded and wired Knobkerrie
Just received this behemoth in the mail. It is amazing. One of the coolest things I have had the pleasure of owning. I just wanted to share since it was a bit hard to find

Hello Nutellakinesis,
Nice and I guess heavy knobkerrie! I personally would polish up the wire cover at the handle, it will look beautiful! Regards, Detlef |

While detail cleaning can bring visual excitement, it might remove patination. A conundrum. |

I think I will keep it as is. I don’t want to corrode anything since it in very good condition for its age

See the pics of how it will look. You can't remove the patina by this, copper and brass wire will get black again in a short time. But the tribes have done such a time-killing artwork not to be invisible I guess. Regards, Detlef |
