Well, almost, but it seem that the workshop guys in Indonesia know what we wanna have, extremely scarce models with scarce hilts....

made for a few dollar, and when sold in their store,seller asks maker, come lets make more............

Maybe we can focus on the historical objects that where made for traditional use on Nias.
Exhibiting modern forgeries and/or imitations does not add much to this thread.

Hi Willem,

A nice suggestion but as this is a keris thread we are not allowed to do that.
And as we have seen that Nias kerisses are as scarce as bad Dutch soccerplayers, I think this thread is almost completed....

I pretty much agree with that. I think this thread needs keris content soon or it's pretty much done.

The rarity of such keris (if any), makes it difficult to do so.
Unless/until someone have a piece to debunk our current opinions.
Here's a friend's piece, a single edge blade.. for comments.

Gentlemen....when we first set up this forum a while back Rick and i discussed long and hard about what would be acceptable subject matter for discussion here. We decided that this would be a place solely for the discussion of keris. Even other Tosan aji like tombak is to be discussed in the main forum.
Hate me if you will, but i am closing this thread. If you guys want to pick up this discussion of other Nias weapons please feel free to do so on the main forum. Thanks for playing...
