What do you mean by the pijetan looks suspicious?
the pijitan looks smooth and shallow.
and also the gandik looks too smooth.
I've been watching this keris for 3 weeks before I decide to buy it.
I found the iron is fascinating, the hardness and the sound of the iron.
I never mind about the pamor and any possibility of reshaping.
Like you said, Its ok for me and I like it a lot.
I really should use my feeling on choosing a keris, then it would come to fact that I like a keris when I really sure that I like it.
not to form an opinion based upon apprisal, like you said...you're right.
an appraisal would only result on a confuseness.
I'm waiting for a segaluh keris right now, hope it will soon arrive.
and after a proper cleaning,etching and picture taking I would like to share it with you guys...
Hope it arrive today...thank you.
