Dear colleagues, could you please tell me:

1. What metal is the cone on the handles of Chokwe and Yaka swords made of?

2. Is the cone one piece or is there a seam on the side?

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
Yuri

My Yaka: It is magnetic and there is oxidation, so I guess probably steel or iron. There appears to be a seam.
