sorry for rising the price again, but it's not my intention to sell.. just sharing my experience and yes, brunei dollar and singapore dollar is in the same rate.. as for the dressing, i bought a new keris sold for tourist (cheap) and then threw away the blade. but ofcourse, i had to make sure that it fits nicely first..

Other than that javanese mendak, get a decently carved jawa demam hilt to compliment that beautiful sampir. A simple good one will do. That one looked 'so tourist'. That blade look Malay bugis.

Methinks the luks are too deep for a Malay keris.

Also, for a typical Malay sampir, the rounded buntut is inappropriate.
