Scattered,

One more thing - remember to use a bit of wood oil to nourish the hilt and the sheath once every couple of months. You don't want the wood to dry out and start to warp and crack. That would be a terrible shame!!

Jeff,

Corrections - your blade is not just beautiful - it's very graceful. Notice the sweet manner in which the luks meanders, the good spine on the blade which would have taken a long time to polish out of the billet, and nice arch to the ganja, the gracefully curling yet meaty kembang kacang (classical feature in good Balinese blades), and finally notice the way the sogokan follows the first luk.

Try to have a proper sheath and hilt commissioned for it; it deserves it.
