My collection includes more than a 100 keris and other Asian edge weapons.
To be able to see them, I have made a panel for a selection of the small pieces.

In addition I have two kris holder panels (4 pieces only),

the large kris are spread in the entrance on an ancient sideboard.

and the rest are stored in various places of my studyroom.

I wish to have two kris stands where one can store vertically up to 5 or 6 krisses.
As this is the kind of pieces that I cannot find locally, my intention was to make it myself. I looked on each of my numerous books on kris and asian edge weapons, but was not able to identify a nice kris stand for 5 to 6 krisses. I looked on internet and found some recently made pieces, in the House of Keris (Adni in Singapore) but panels and not keris stand. This is the only image I have found of a kris stand .

I have seen many kris stands in Malaysia and Indonesia that were more attractives.
Any idea where I could find a good exemple of nice kris stand ?
Thanks for indicating me a direction of research.

I think you will have either to just link to the thread, or download the images and re-attach them. It seems that directly linking to attached images won't work, and I don't see a way to fix it. It is probably due to the way attached images display in a post versus linked images.

Thank you Mark,
My problem is also that I do not see an other way to test if the image is in the message, than to preview the Post?
Is there an other way to check that ?
Thanks
Michel

No, there isn't (aside from actually posting the message, of course).
