bali keris for comment

[ronpakis]

Hi Alam and others of course,

I can see the difference with the one in the link. But it is also not very simmilar to the bendo seggodo but then again the tammens book is just a guideline. It looks like a double bendo segodo but at some places the fifth cirkel in the middle can bee seen like in the udan mas drawing. Any ideas about the paint job?

greetings Ron

I am interested: should there be a pendok? Because the sheath is painted?

hi tatyana,

if there did not need to be a pendok there is no reason to paint it this way because only the front is a nice piece of wood. the back is a simple piece. this is often seen with kerisses wich had a pendok because the pendoks from bali often are open on the front to show a nice piece of wood.

greetings ron

The pelet wood used for the sheath and hilt looks very promising. Clean it up and give it some nourishing wood oil and I think you'd have a fantastic-looking sheath.

I should say that you CANNOT find pelet wood like this any more. So please take care of the wooden sheath and treasure it.
