Hello Shadejoy,

And do you keep them in a safe at the bank?
Personally I prefer my way and to be able to enjoy my krisses whenever I like and without having to perform any maintenance of the blade after the initial treatment with WD40, just checking the condition from time to time. However I live in a dry environment.

Spoken as a true collector Jean.

Bravo.

I used to be exactly the same.

Haha.. no, not in a safe. I think it comes down to lifestyle and personal preference. Don't get me wrong, I love my Keris, they are magnificent and valuable to me. My daily life isn't that hectic but between work and family, there is always something to do and places to go. There was one time I neglected my Keris for over a year in its scabbard untouched and noticed a small speck of discoloration on its wilah. It was thankfully gone after applying gun oil. So this time I thought I should do something differently.

Very nice pair of Panakawan blawong!!
