Yes, understand! I think it depends on the quality of the camera from my friend, he send me some new ones but not really better.

Personal taste is a funny thing.

For instance, I find Angelina Jolie repulsive, and possibly my favourite female movie star is Whoopi Goldberg. Like I said:- peculiar.

I tend to look for, and to value qualities that indicate something is going on beneath the surface, and that is what I can see in this pendongkok.

I neither particularly like, nor dislike this item under discussion, but when I consider the work that was involved in producing it, and the unique nature of its design, I must admit that I'm pretty impressed.

Probably a lot of people didn't much like this particular design, or we would be more familiar with it, as there would be more of them around.

i also think ol' blubber lips AJ is ugly. the latest fad of showing her legs confirms my opinion - she's also got ugly legs. and she ain't the spring chicken she likes to think she is.

whoopi ain't bad. her personality shows thru. i'd prefer going out with her to AJ.

i'd like to see this item on an appropriate blade & grip, maybe it's personality will shine thru.

Sorry David,

I am the third one who find AJ repulsive!

Will ask my friend if he can take pictures with different keris sarungs, maybe Malay, Bugis and Sumatra to get an other impression!

Regards,

Detlef

Thank you for the better picture.

I still think this is rather crudly made. It requires some workmanship, but it still feels like someone took the easy way to make a pendokok.

Would like to see pcitures of this pendokok on a keris.

I would also like some pictures of AJ's other leg. just for comparisson...
