Hi Zartane,

A tajong hilt can go with either a straight or a wavy pandai saras blade. Sometimes, it even has a carita blade.

Judging from the rust, you'd need to use citric acid to get the rust off. The scent will probably be removed, but if you can get your own scented oil, you can keep the blade smelling nice after cleaning it.

Zartane, a lemon or a lime has citric acid in it. No need to deal with any chemicals.
Great post Kai Wee, very informative and well illustrated as usual.
A nice keris tajong has been on my wish list for some time now. Thanks for helping me know what to look for.
