I agree. While a walk through these shops might be interesting i think that in the end it might also prove frustrating as i pull one contemporary kris after another out of their nice shiny dress. But maybe the owner has something special under the counter.
KuKulz, you will find that many of the newer blades are quite "functional" and that many more of the older "antiques" are even more functional. In fact, i have rarely handled an antique kris that i would consider fragile. They are usually very well made blades that hold up well over the years.
