as for Michaels rencong.

How is the base of the blade constructed ?
Most of the times these 'models' have brass at the base of the blade.
This one too ?

Best regards,
Willem

Would guess it would be suassa and not brass on this quality of rencong.

The few examples I have seen in private and museum collections had brass on the base of the blade.
One had suasa. but I can not recall where I saw that one.
