Hi all,

Maybe I ask something stupid, but I`m still an ignorant new keris collector:

1) Is the tang (pesi) forged from the same billet as the blade, or is it a
separate piece that is welded to the blade?

2) How is the ganja fixed to the base of the blade?

Thank you for your attention and best regards,

Heinz (Greybeard)
