Are the teeth partially embedded into the wood or held in by pitch as well as the twine ; without a comparable rail system such as the the ones used in the Gilbert Island shark tooth swords employed in conjunction with tying the drilled teeth in place, I fear the item could only deliver one blow , before the teeth would be misaligned and proven to be ineffective.I would guess( and I stress guess), that your item might be more ceremonial;still a very nice item !
