David, You and I are a lot alike. I buy because I like. It speaks to me. Usually in a kinesthetic way, a feeling. I like this one. It has a very deep and powerful feeling, in the hand.

Here is what I know.
Madura
Blade 150+ years old
Dress 80-90 years old

Dapur? Tangguh? Pamor? Old? New?

I would like to know more, and that would be fun. But for me, when I look at fine art, the kind that grabs you by the solar plexus, I care more about that feeling than who made the paints, the canvas, The frame, what was going through the artist's mind.

I like the blade. It has soul. I like the dress. It depth of age. Chatoyancy. It has been loved and cherished. I like the feeling when I hold it. Enough.

I saw it. I liked it. I bought it. Just like everything else.

However, now I would like to know more about it. What does the pamor mean? The dapur? The number of luks?
