Yep, it's a disease all right.
We all start with "just one". Now i've got 2 dozen and the funny thing is, i'm not really sure how it all happened. I think this blade might be newer than you think, probably 20thc, but certainly worth the price of a 'happy meal". Just for the record, it is 11 luks, not 9 and the dress appears Sumatran to me. The mendak (hit ring) is the wrong type, being from Jawa. If you start getting serious about keris (gestation times differ from patient to patient ) you may want to change that. Adni can probably help you there. When you start not thinking twice about spenting the price of a 7-course filet mignon dinner w/ drinks at the fanciest restaruant in town, you will know that you have probably reached a terminal stage.
