This is not a keris or kris. Just having a wavy blade is not what determines a keris. A number of key elements are missing from this blade to call it a keris.

I'd agree with Jeff. The pommel is a Lasara (sp?).

I am with Jeff, it's a modern interpretation of a si euli from Nias.
See here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...highlight=euli & http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...highlight=euli Attached are pics of my antique example, the ferrule is missing. Last edited by Sajen; 6th August 2025 at 06:12 PM. |
