Tajong for viewing pleasure and comments !

I've seen a few tajongs with such 'surgical' replacements, and I've always been impressed by how well the replacement is done! But of course, for this case, I am only guessing from the pics; perhaps Mykeris can look at it more closely and let us know?

I have little doubt that such surgical replacement can be done...but i would still be mightily impressed.

I'd love to know what you do call that chevron temper mark. I have a blade with a similar line.

During the course of the day, two words popped up... "pucuk rebung".

Perhaps this would help.

Well, in these last 2 pics it does look like a replacement.
What are your thoughts with the hilt in hand Mykeris?
