Baskets and Cup-hilts
for Rattan Weapons

Unless othewise requested, all of my hilts and baskets come with built-in clamps so installation is a snap.  For those who do prefer taping
tangs instead, I also offer that option.

They will accomodate rattan up to 1-3/8" diameter at the hilt. They are MIG
welded and nice and symmetrical.

*POWDER-COATING:  This is a paint-like finish, but is actually a tough, baked-on polyester coating.  Price is generally ~$9 per item, but I make it up on the fly depending on how many other things I might need to do at the same time and the relative amount of work involved.  Default color is either semi-gloss or matte black.  About any color is possible, but the price point goes up sharply for colors that I don't have on hand, due to minimum orders, extra s/h, color changes in the machine, etc.  If you don't opt for the PC, parts will come with a plain steel finish and you can paint them yourself.
