the hilt for this blade is pekaka type and from "akar bahar(i dont know what we call this in english)" and the pedokok is from suasa if i not mistaken.. the previous owner doesn't want to sell the pedokok to me but the hilt i will post it when i get it next week..

Akar bahar is black coral. Very precious material for keris hilt. hmmm... too bad he wouldn't sell the pendoko. The 2 will really make a statement together.

Akar bahar in White or Red or Black?
FYI, In english would be White Coral or Black Coral or Red Coral.

Both Kelantanese or Pattani do use this media for making hilts. But it is often to see Kelantan pieces with coral hilts.

Often? Really? Does this mean that you have numerous examples to show us?
