Taming Sari???

Penangsang II: Thanks!! ketam guri, tongkol jagung ... hmmmmmm ... not many images on the WEB or on the book. Indeed, the keris world has little to offer to the online, armchair enthusiast; much of the keris skills is to be learned from personal encounters.

David: You're right, I seem to have a time machine syndrome. Prior to this, I was obsessed with learning about Japan's Kusanagi. The nice thing is, it is easier to search online for info and images of the Kusanagi. When it comes to Taming Sari, I couldn't find any authoritative website with semi-scholarly article on the fabled blade. Mostl are just blog-like writings, quoting some version of the Hang Tuah legend and displaying the jangkung keris with tongkol jagung image, so I was not even sure if that's the one that the Perak Sultanate claimed to be Taming Sari.
