I can understand it and I wouldn't do it as well.

Nothing wrong by this, it's a nice kris and very collectable.

I am sure that the first and last one has a separate ganja, it's just a perfect fit. Also the second example will have a separate ganja, it's just difficult to seen. By the third example I am unsure.

It's very thin, but I can see a definite line of separation on the third one (and the first and second as well) on my monitor.
