Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. It may be real/fake or new/old, it doesn't matter as much in terms of beauty. The intricity of the artwork and detailing of the ukiran deserves mention.

Dhental, if you mix in a keris community, you would know that your comment style is considered inappropriate in keris culture ethics. (Never criticise a piece in public, unless it is specifically asked for by the owner).
