Just out of curiosity do you just collect hilts or do you have blades as well?

Hi David While I possess around 6 complete Keris, I only collect hilts. When I first started collecting, my daughters were quite young, and they were terrified by the blades. Besides that my little townhouse couldn't accommodate them. How about you? Storage and display are an issue for any collectors. Can you imagine trying to display 2 or 300 Keris? I found that a lighted dedicated display case with Windows on 3 sides, and a mirrored back worked the best for me. (I have three!)

Hi Craig. Yes, my interest has always been towards collecting the whole package, with my main interest being in the blades themselves. Display and storage is always an issue as my collection must be near 100 keris at this point. I have a dedicated room in the house for them. My wife insists upon it.
