Kamardikan Lombok or Bali kris (Hilt & Pamor question)

Another hilt came my way few days after acquiring this kris, and , as it often happens to me, it felt " right".

So, I have replaced the previous CENANGAN, with another one. Carved in white water buffalo (one of my favourite materials) horn , I think it harmonises very well with this kris.

To my eye this is a more skillfully crafted hilt and does look nice with the ensemble. And of course, since you have an affinity for white buffalo horn, if it suits your tastes best that is what is ultimately important.
