just a gentle advice - don't cover the keris blade and sheath/hilt in oil. Too much is bad the sheath and hilt, and ultimately the keris, when gunk builds up and decomposition takes place. A little spread out evenly but regularly goes a long way. |
Thanks for the advice bro, it's been (& should) the practice of slight oil application blade. As for this pic, the blade had just completed the process of cleaning & traditional drying. Letting the oil seap thru within pamor while the blade is hot and letting it dry for a while before it was kept in its sheath.
