You speak words of wisdom. As you can tell, I'm all over the place regarding my collection. As a new collector, I really didn't give much thought to what direction I'd take in regards to parameters for a collection. I just bought a few that were prestented to me at an affordable rate and the rest are ones that caught my eye and I could afford.

As for the sheath, I really didn't intend to replace it - I just wondered where a guy in my location could buy a sheath for a keris. After reading the comments, I looked at this keris in its sheath and could see that someone took care to make a warangka that fit the blade very well and it just seems right! And it indeed adds character to the keris!
