The general aspect of the hilt could bring to a betel crusher's hilt, but these have a somewhat square and smaller peg hole. This peg hole is no doubt that of a kris. Could be that a betel crusher's hilt has been adapted to fit a kris tang, widening the hole.
I happened to see betel crushers with kris hilt (planar type): the contrary cannot be excluded.

Default Hilt Tool

Hi GIO,

Yes every thing is possible.
BTW I got an example of a figural tool hilt in my collection as well.
Here it is.
It came with the hilt we have discussed allready.

This is a plocokan, a betel crusher, most proable from Lombok!
