Zartane, you spent that kind of money for a tajong? It's totally beyond me

Well I guess I'm not in the same standard in term of financial resources....but I can assure you, I can get an older blade, older tajong hilt (made from elephant tusk) and overall better maintained keris than your example for only RM 5000.00.

well, it did won second place on a keris competition held in kelantan on 2006.. and if you could find me an old ivory tajong for rm5000, please PM me

Gentlemen, frankly all this talk about money, who paid what for what and what one is willing to pay what for what coupled with Zartane's "should i sell one of these" questions is treading way too far into the field of commerce for my comfort level. I would suggest that this type of talk is much better suited to PMs or, once a decision is made on Zartane's part, the Swap Forum.

Zartane, I see that your liking with tajong keris are deep. Good taste. As for your posting, having pandai saras with luks are rather hard to come by. And having one with pamor is even more harder (I had seen one). This pandai saras posted is a good buy. Keep it!!!

To my knowledge, ivory was only used to make tajong in the late 20th century. Dark wood such as kenaung and kemuning hitam were the appropriate traditional material for older tajong.
