Hello Jean,

Are you speaking of Groneman's book? I have ordered it, but, alas, it's taking a while to get here. I can't wait to have it in my hands.

What I find interesting is the heft of this blade, a nice heavy feel in the...

Okay, after two days in the pineapple juice the blade was free of rust! The other keris will be awhile. Now, the sheath is another story. I went to remove the pendok and found that someone had...

Thanks! I had seen other Udan Mas blades (I think on this site) and they appealed to me quite a bit. When I saw this, I knew it was for me.
