Good work Lemmy.
You did the whole thing? If so, the only weak point I can see from the pics is the hilt. The blade is close to excellent, and the wrongko/pendok looks quite OK. |

Awefully sweet Lemmy!
 ....and quite a lot of history in the metals used!  I certainly wouldn't mind owning it.

Lemmy,
If you're offering the piece for sale, I would be interested... (hint! hint!).  A beautifully crafted piece, indeed. Blade-wise, looks more like a Sumatran bahari blade. |

Hi all! Thanks for the encouraging responses
Alan-All my own work! Yeah, the hilt is probably the weak point, a little large and the shape ain't quite right, particularly at the base-got a bit carried away with the dremel! Wrongko could do with being a little more angled upwards too. Alam-You're spot on with the Sumatran influence, Gangawulung posted a really nice patrem a while back which kind of inspired this one!! No plans to offer my "daughter" for marriage.....  Next job (pamor currently in production) something much bigger and Balinese looking.... |
