that is awsome looking Zen. I was thinking of doing the same thing with some shedded black snake skin, but decided not to. ... I kinda regret my discision now.

zen; absolutely beautiful! and to my knowledge, unique. Heaps of praise and rep to you!!
My Edward III broadsword has an adderskin grip (see below) but not nearly as spectacular as your rattler hide grip.
