I thought I would add a couple of my own observations.Tradtionally the burning of the patterns into rattan was part of the fire hardening process. Most people today just burn the pattern in independently of trying to fire harden the stick, and if the burning of the pattern is done incorrectly it will in fact weaken the stick. You will figure out in short order if you held it over the flame too long since it will hve a short lifespan. Master Sam Tendencia used to make some mighty fine batons and one trick I learned from him is to use boiled linseed oil to coat the baton with. You wipe it on as a wet oil and then you allow it to dry and then do several more coats. It won't chip off like laquer or varnish, seems to protect the stick from impact to a degree, and most importantly it turns tacky in the presence of sweat which makes it stay in your hand much better than any other finish.

And a piece of leather could stop a blade that could supposedly chop a man in half(kampilan) or chop off extremeties(kris,barong)? Who started the rumor? Could it be that marines used it back in the days, stopped, and then brought it back when entering the PI for reasons obvious. Did the marines actually have leather collars when they were in the PI? Did it help? I'd rather have two .45's then 1 and a leather strip. One around my neck doesn't protect the top of your head. ===== Chad chad@fullcontacthi.com Full Contact Stickfighting Hawaii http://www.fullcontacthi.com http://www.egroups.com/group/stickfighting __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Despite popular belief, the first batch of .45s sent to the Philippines were old Colt Peacemakers brought out of hibernation. Not the autoloaders.
