Hi Mans. Thanks for more of you generously illustrated posts. Pictures help so much, though not quite as much as hands-on.

You did, i assume, notice that the blade of this Sumatran keris is only 8" long. I am not aware of there being many keris from any area that are usually this small unless they are patrem.
I have heard the first blade being referred to as Kebo Teki before. Is Ron Teki more correct in your opion or is either term proper?
