The role of the production of ganja (gonjo) iras is kris making and tradition.
 

I have acquired a Balinese kris with an unequivocal ganja iras (in the sense that it wasn't missing it, it is simply made in one piece ).

I have read, en passant, in other threads that the realisation of the Ganja Iras can be seen as a kris particularly loaded go mystical significance and /or as a show of the empu's ability in controlling the process, since if anything did go wrongwhili making there in the Ganja it may result in the blade having to be rejected or need to be modified.

So, since I didn't find a specific thread on the subject I decided to create one. I'd like to know more about this.

I don't believe we have ever had a thread dedicated entirely to the question of gonjo iras, but the question has turned up here and there. You can find a few posts about it in this thread. But obviously there is a lot more to discover about this particular form.

I have just now read through the thread that David has referenced.

I believe that a complete reading of this thread will answer many questions, but will equally leave many questions unanswered.

Milandro, I most respectfully suggest that rather than ask a "nature of the Universe" question, we might be able to progress a little if you were to ask just a single, specific question at a time.

yes, thank you David, much obliged, as I mentioned in the opening post, I did find those references to Ganja Iras in my research in the forum.

I just thought that this matter had merited a thread, if at all possible, so that people, like me, researching this matter, would be able to find some information in one place.
