Hi Michael you see the rattan binding on some philipine weapons like the moro keris in the north part off borneo
and some mandau s have it too .
I have an parang sankit from the Muruts with binding like an moro keris .

the Leiden museum is nice but you also see that they have Sikims that they are telling it is from Borneo .
the only Thing I use the Leiden museum for is when they bring the weapon in .
