Hi Maurice,

I should have known this! :D I have a wooden Gayo keris handle already long in my own collection. Thank you for the hint! Sometimes you have the obvious things in front of your eyes but don't make your conclusions. :rolleyes:

Best regards,
Detlef

To find a sikin panjang without a cracked handle is nearly impossible. I have four in my possession and all four have an age crack, small ones and bigger ones. all four handles are stable to the blade.
Just oil the handle from time to time with for example linseed oil.

Hi Detlef, thanks for the tip. The laminated blade does not show up well in the photos, New photo slightly better but not as it is.
Regards
Marc
