Keris Tindih -- The Neutralizer

No, no, Pak Usmen.

I have stayed in Palur for the times I have been in Jawa since about 1982.

Before that I used to stay in a house in a lane off Jalan Kratonan.

Before that I stayed in hotels.

I went to Solo for the first time in about 1974.

I use the word "native" to refer to one's native tongue. For example, I am a native speaker of English, somebody who was born and grew up in France would be a native speaker of French. Your native tongue is Javanese.And being a native speaker of Javanese, you have tricked me with your tricky manggo.One thing is certain, I am most definitely not more Javanese than you. I am 100% Aussie, with a thin veneer of Javanese style, when this is necessary.

Please accept my most sincere congratulations for the recent addition to your family.

Hi All,

This is another Jalak Budo. The younger one. Probably from Singasari era or even younger. The blade is much bigger than the two first one. And some "sanak" (not too glitters) pamor in its blade. The sheath, also from forest mango wood. And the hilt, Cirebonese in the Islamic kingdom era..
