Wow, it's beautiful. Really elegant piece. Thanks for showing it.

BluErf, perhaps you can post a picture showing the sheath mouth, "leng-lengen" or "tampingan" area.

The patch is on the sirah cecak side.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

1/4 of the joy in collecting is in acquiring the pieces;
1/4 comes from restoring and caring for them;
1/4 is derived from looking at them; and
the last 1/4 comes from sharing it with others who appreciate it.

BluErf, I understand completely. Nice job.

Nice job Kai Wee. It would have been cool to see the before pics though. I have a similar Sumatran piece which needs sheath restoration (or just a brand new gandar) which i hope to get around to eventually.
While i understand your preferences (and the tradition) with not using warangan on some of your peninsula keris i think this is one i would definitely use it on. Nice keris.
