Anyway I don't think that this Keris is a Cundrik.

Michael
Even if this is so is not the cundrik that is related to the keris sajen a somewhat different shape and form than the keris? I think Alan is right that in this case it is a term best left out.

Michel, you forged the gonjo and made the sheath from scratch. I'd say that's admirable even if some lines are off. I would also like to see a closer image
I can say this without the close-up. That hilt is too big for this ensemble. More importantly than to the blade, the hilt must be in prooer proportion to the sheath so that it created an acceptable look when the keris is sheathed. Of course you could, given your skills, make a larger sheath for this keris.
