I own several keris where I have let a wood restorer do similar "repairs" to fit a sarung for a blade, I thought it's worth getting a proper sarung! Regards, Detlef |

Hello Gav,
I must have been unclear, sorry! I wanted to express that I have some keris blades that I had a sheath fitted to them by a restorer. Similar to what happened with your keris shown. Regards, Detlef |

Just thought i would add this old example of a sheath that has been adjusted to fit a newer blade. I really cannot tell for sure, but this appears to have been done with some kind of resin which has now cracked from age. At least the inserted material does not seem to be wood.

Here a similar, most probably local, adjustment with some sort of resin. Regards, Detlef |

Here are two samples of such a restoration.
