Dear All,
a week ago I succeeded in obtaining this blade. Alas, it isn't a work of art like some Keris Pandai Saras from forum archives, also material is (most possibly) average and so the state of preservation, with some deeper pitting. There are also welding faults.
Yet I am very fond of this blade, and that's why you see so many bad (I'm sorry) pictures here
Some questions: is this a blade from Patani (which I suppose) or Kelantan? Why, what are the differences? Is it possible to draw a general schema of development (in words of course), how features of ricikan have changed over the time?
Thank you very much.
