After that do not say if it is the original Ganja or a replacement.
Originally it was rust welded to the blade, but after a vinegar bath to remove the rust it became free again.

I have some doubts about the originality of the ganja: the colour is different than that of the blade and the sirah cecak is not aligned with the blade.
