Text on rencong

Thanks for the translation, Alam Shah.

I'm quite aware that I have a tourist rencong. Nevertheless, the blad has a nice finish to it. And yes...it's a brass blade.

Beautiful pieces you have. Very nice.

A question : Do only tourist pieces have arabic texts on the blade or was this done with genuine pieces also ?

Hmmm...good question. The number of rencongs I've seen are limited but
I've yet to see one genuine piece with some arabic text.

Freddy, your rencong although a tourist piece, it's still neatly executed... Alam Shah
