Great job ! and intersting technique.

One could also us this on indonesian keris, drilling a hole and then glue in a whole new peksi.

Ps, how did you get the old tang out of the hilt without any damage ?

The procedure reminded me of what my dentist did to my tooth once :D

Thanks for the update Kino! Nice job :)

I never got to ask that question, I'm assuming that a part of the original tang is still attached to the blade.

OUCH!

The repair work was performed by a good friend. I just sent the Kris to him and waited, my part was easy, his part was not too easy. I'll extend the kudos to him.
