Hi Kai,
if the blade was made with such besi with higher carbon contain, does it mean it can easily break? I've read somewhere stated that besi melela was actually comes from a sandy grains along the west coast of java. Is that true?
if not laminated, means that it was not done like how a keris should be?
Thanks for the input, kai. Really appreciate it...
