Zartane, I see that your liking with tajong keris are deep. Good taste. As for your posting, having pandai saras with luks are rather hard to come by. And having one with pamor is even more harder (I had seen one). This pandai saras posted is a good buy. Keep it!!!

To my knowledge, ivory was only used to make tajong in the late 20th century. Dark wood such as kenaung and kemuning hitam were the appropriate traditional material for older tajong.

So silver, gold, and swaasa and wood are more traditional, pre-20th century for tajong hilts?
