Modern interpretations of traditional design?

I don't know about "pure fantasy" Rick, but it no longer qualifies as a keris, as it no longer has any meaning.

This question was a big number in Solo about 20 years ago. There were supporters of both points of view, that is that the keris needed to evolve to survive, and the opposite , that any "evolution" was decline.

I'm firmly in the camp of the traditionalists, but I see this matter as one where all are entitled to their own opinions, which reflect the way they view the keris.
