These crudely made keris mentioned by David with teeth and hair was originally discussed back in 2005 in the following thread:

Also both Banjarmasin, Kalimanten and pieces from Brunai can indeed be classified from Borneo, although the blades may have been from other places. It is said that the keris forging in Kalimanten quietly vanished in the beginning of the twentieth century.
While still made in South-East Kalimanten the blades had the characteristic's of a mixture of Javanese and Buginese styles.
