I agree that while the hilt is beautiful that the quality of the carving is somewhat coarse and not the work of a master carver. Rick's suggestion to Pepper to take a look at the book Spirit of Wood is a good one. What i would be interested in know is does this mean that the work is more recent or just done long ago by a less skilled carver? I don't really know that much about tajong.

This hilt has the shadow of a great tajong hilt.
