More biners!!!
There has been a whole discussion of trying to differentiate the two...whatever the case, we all know good work when we see it.
My brother-in-law, Billy, has been at it again...he delivered TWO training dhas (swords) to me yesterday...same exquisite work as the others he has made. One of these is for a friend that I train with, the other for me. In the first picture the middle dha was the first prototype that was roughly patterned from an 1800's Burmese dha belonging to my Burmese teacher. Billy was able to produce a true copy of the original Dha and that is what you see in his finished product. The "stopper knot" on the end is a Turk's Head knot that he taught himself to tie...a decorative knot that is functional for us. Sharing superb craftsmanship with you:
