The English made many of the actual basket hilts which were used in Scotland at this time and the style is now thought to have originated in England in the late 1500s.
The English abandoned the style later because the hilt restricts fencing movements; but the Scots, who were basically civilian militia, kept the style because it suited their hack and thrust style when used with a shield and thus came to be associated with them as a uniquely Scottish weapon.
Featuring authentic hilt styling with fully tempered rebated and non-pointed blades, these swords are made to withstand rugged use while providing the level of safety required by many of today's re-enactment societies.

 Ethnographic Arms & Armour - Identification of keris hilt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Regardless of their origins these hilts do look interesting and if indeed the oldest examples of these keris is only 19thC as Empu Kumis suggests they still qualify as an ethnographic item worthy of study and collection.
The hilt cannot be removed and the blade is a typical keris blade unlike a keris sajen type, which is one piece.
Judging from this I would assume that both the hilt of Alam Shah`s keris and my version of it are actually modern-made single hilts that can be either normally attached or maybe even welded to a keris blade to "style it" into a keris sajen.

 Asheron's Call Forums - New "brigand hilt" idea
We've discussed several ways to make bandit hilts useful again, and I think they should be, mostly because the animation was cool.
These "brigand hilts" as you call them would end up being more effective than dirks and people would only use the brigand hilts.
Getting back to sword, the Brigand Hilt Rapier worked out to something like no-buff 27-29, pierce rending, +8/+8 and my math said it would be as useful as an optimized tachi or broadsword.
