pesi removal

The usual answer to this question would be yes, that the pesi is always forged from the same forging as the blade, however, this would not be accurate.

A very few current era blades, usually the lower quality ones, have a pesi that has been welded to a stub from the main blade forging, and I have seen some very old blades, mainly early Mataram classification blades,where the blade has eroded at the sorsoran, and you can see that the pesi was made by forge welding a separate piece into the base of the blade.
