THERE ARE 3 SHOPS IN THE KUTA AREA ALL THREE ARE OWNED BY THE SAME FAMILY AND THEY HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF INTERESTING THINGS. THEY ARE SJAMSUDDIN ART SHOP , LEGIAN KELOD ST. 354 KUTA ,BALI, CHULDIA ART ,TUNJUNG MEKAR ,ST. 160, THE THIRD ONE IS SULAWESI ART, PADMA UTARA ST. 91 LEGIAN, KUTA BALI. THESE WERE IN TOWN IN WALKING DISTANCE FROM MY HOTEL (MATAHARI BUNGALOW WHICH I CAN RECOMEND)
THERE IS A INTERESTING KERIS SHOP OUT IN ANOTHER TOWN THE OLD MAN CARVES SCABBARDS AND HANDLES AND DOES GOOD WORK HE ALSO HAS A LOT OF KERIS ON HAND TO SELL OR CAN DO CUSTOM WORK. HIS SON HAS A NICE COLLECTION OF KERIS WHICH IS WORTH SEEING ALSO. PUSTAKA JATI. BR. JELEKA, BATUAN, SUKAWTI, GIANYAR, BALI INDONESIA. THERE IS A SHOP ON THE WAY TO THE ABOVE SHOP BUT IT WASN'T AS INTERESTING AS THE OTHERS BUT DID HAVE SOME GAUDY EXAMPLES OF KERIS SOME EVEN HAD PURE SILVER BLADES ALONG WITH JEWLS AND GOLD DECORATION IT IS "KERIS ART SHOP , CELUK SUKAWATI GIANYAR BALI.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ABOUT THE NUMBER OF RECENTLY MADE THINGS OFTEN SOLD AS GENUINE SO BUY WHAT YOU LIKE AND FEEL IS A FAIR PRICE. THERE ARE SOME VERY ATTRACTIVE KNIVES BEING MADE IN LOMBOK ALSO AND THE PRICES WOULD BE BETTER THERE. IF YOU SCUBA DIVE ACHMED IS A GOOD PLACE AND IS OUT AWAY FROM THE BIG CITY AND IS A NICE DRIVE OVER THERE. JUST SEND ME A PLANE TICKET AND I WILL GO ALONG AND BE YOUR GUIDE

HAVE FUN AND GET SOME GOODIES.
