Hi all,
Here's one of my keris. I picked it up in a really sorry crusty state (

Jogja dressings, bugis blade.
My gratitude to a certain member of this forum who helped me complete this keris with his time, care and labour, teaching me a great deal all the while. I'm not sure he would like to be named, but I would be very happy for them to make themselves known
