Yes, I do prefer that one, Rasjid.

This one I've posted a pic of is an older hilt, and very substantial, there is nothing delicate nor extreme in the carving, it was made with the intention of use, not just as an exercise to display the skill of the carver.

This is the style of execution I prefer in Balinese hilts, but it is rarely encountered in recently made hilts.
