Curious Iranun kampilan feature

[xasterix]

Halloo, I originally wanted to ride on the recent kampilan thread, but decided to create a new one for better visibility. I just restored my Iranun kampilan, and before going on a test run, I noticed a peculiar feature...

...its "teeth" are dentures- they're removable! The upper part still has traces of tree sap (and smells strongly too, the bubblegum-red type, not the black one).

I'm wondering if anyone else with this type of Iranun kampilan pommel noticed this peculiar feature? TIA!
