Regarding the pattern weld - no it does not end abruptly but it does not continue down the blade either. Kind of fizzles out really.
On the subject of the scabbard - I'm keeping the original scabbard! I just can't keep the kris in the scabbard without disintegrating the scabbard. I am keeping them separate, making a new one in the same fashion as the old one and wrapping the old one up for safe keeping and preservation.
By the way, I forgot what the talismanic meaning is behind the silver dot in the blade tip. Any ideas?
