			No they are not made from coffee pots.  Just like other decoration on weapons the motifs come from a regional cultural pool.  Here is one with no holes.  The strange thing is that although most of these; although common are superbly made with a blade you could almost bend back to the handle and let go like a spring and carrying great artist merit, are not appreciated in the "market" .  Where as just as common items with considerably less skill and artistic mastery command silly high prices.  All this contradiction in values is starting to ruin my enjoyment of collecting.[
