I am sorry to bring out the bad news but that hilt isn't a traditional one and it seems to be made for people that enjoy travelling. For especially Nias and Batak there has been an active souvenir industry for a very long time.
This is what i was trying to point out at the start of this thread. The gripping area of this hilt seems to be at best less than 2.5 inches long. That hardly seems long enough for practical use...
