I think it's new too. But it has a great expression!

Ah yes, I've heard of the Tajong school in Yala. They have a giant Tajong hilt outside the school, so visitors can't miss it. Its comforting that the tradition is being kept alive!

Here's a tajong hilt carved by the late master Nik Rashiddin from Kelantan. Picture taken from Spirit of Wood exhibition in Singapore.

It may have something to do with your present moderated status. All new members start out this way. Is your question too personal to ask on the forum?
