Hello Harley,

maybe it will be from some help to show one of my Bali keris with the same wrongko form. I believe that this is an old ensemble which belong together.

Regards,

Detlef

Detlef, your blade appears to have sunken further into the atasan with age, it is also possible that the front of the mouth in the atasan has been extended a couple of mm. to provide clearance for the front part of the blade, we sometimes see this where it is necessary to clear the kembang kacang.

Harley should try to get a neat all around fit, with the top of the ganja either slightly above the top of of the atasan, but at the same curve as the atasan, or dead level with the top of the atasan.

Hello Alan,

the first guess it is in my opinion.
