Sorry, you'd have to show that to me in examples Sajen. AFAIK the gonjo is pretty much always made from the same billet as the blade even in Bali blades. At least every Bali blade in my collections has a gonjo made of the same quality iron.
That the gonjo seems to work on you blade in no way indicates to me that it is not a replacement. It merely indicates that it was replaced by someone with a little bit of skill. It would, after all, not be the intention to create a replacement gonjo that didn't work for the blade, would it?
