			Ah yes, I've heard of the Tajong school in Yala. They have a giant Tajong hilt outside the school, so visitors can't miss it.   
		
		
		
			   Its comforting that the tradition is being kept alive!Here's a tajong hilt carved by the late master Nik Rashiddin from Kelantan. Picture taken from Spirit of Wood exhibition in Singapore.  |
