First, dark wood would work, but bone would match the others. Just Inscribe the "hair" into the bone.
Second, here is the hilt of my ivory kampilan. They are insanely rare, but they do exist (there is also one in the PI National Museum). |

Hopefully you will have enough tang to acommodate both guard and pommel .
Maybe it should be carved from 1 piece and the separation line cut in and filled with ink .

Well Rick,
Your remark is a very valid one That tang is really short but this is not a real kampilan that will be utilized. I can glue the tang inside the pommel and I think, I could even get rid of the metallic guard. Kampilans have a very special type of guard, which is very different than the one on my miniature kampilan and I will not try to reproduce it. I will follow your suggestion and carve it in one or two pieces. May be I can copy Battara's one ! Regards Michel |
