Miniature Keris Sajen

I don't know Detlef, in my book, anything is possible, the form of Marius' keris seems to me to be vaguely Bugis, maybe it was made like this in the first place, or as you suggest, somewhere, some time, somebody took a file to it.

Who knows?

Hello Sajen an Alan,

Thank you for this very interesting discussion!

If it is resahped, it definitely isn't simply mechacanically cut to shape as the blade bears absolutely no traces of mechanical machining. It appears formed like this from hot iron.
