The Tridacna hilt, although not well-carved, is still a nice example. The carving style seems Sumatran, with the simple tumpal incision at the base of the hilt and other features. I reckon the limited supply of this rare hilt material, determined the existing shape. If you ever get bored with this hilt, pm me. I'll give it a new home..
