The next is the rencong Aceh.
I love these weapons with their very surprising handle.
For this one I made everything from the blade to the sarong and handle. As I could not find horn or rather black horn nor ebony ((I had to purchase a 100kg piece for a 100gr need !) I replace it by black colored pear tree wood.
The top and bottom par are in gnarl of oak. (excresence of the wood that gives interesting colors and forms as in the kemuning. i.e the eye in the middle of the sheath made by Nik Rashidin)
So much for this one !
A first look at the other rencong: simple but nicely done. Sheath and handle in horn.
