Some of the craftsmen who survived, were due to the absence of other jobs such as those done by Yudi Hidayat, Ibrahin and Zuhri. In this case, the Aceh government has even designated these villages as Rencong villages which have become new tourist destinations in Aceh. Almost all residents work as rencong craftsmen. Making rencong has been done from generation to generation. The making of this craft is done by both men and women.
