Patterns
Yeah Mick,
It is easier to get "patterns" name in "damascus pamor". (On Damascus Steel, Leo S Figiel MD, 1991). Or even in Devin Thomas' website (the man who claim the most productive makers in damascus steel patterns). It is easier to imagine his patterns like: Banded Ladder, Firestorm, Reptilian, Spirograph, Sharkstooth, Turkish Twist, Raindrop, Fireball. And all are measurable: including how much dollar are the price of the patterns available per inch... I think keris world must learn more from their "elder brother", the damascus steel world. I'd like to see keris books as good as Leo S Figiel's book.. |

From a technical point of view, it is interesting to note that the pattern called out as "pamor walang sinunduk" on the page I posted and as illustrated in Tammens are composed of two twisted bars, twisted together, the latter two drawings from Haryoguritno/Harsrinuksmo seem to illustrate a pattern formed by removing metal from an untwisted bar. (although the p. 208 illustration is more or less ambiguous)
  More photos, please
