Default 3 big blade comparisons

I like big beefy blades when it comes to the Keris. I’m sharing 3 examples and will do separate threads on each in case any additional discussion wants to occur. All 3 are long, have a lot of weight and thick at the forte and gangya area. Some stats:

Ivory hilted Keris measures 15 1/8” from tip to top of gangya.
Keris with ivory mendak measures 14 5/8” from tip to top of gangya.
The Cirebon Keris measures 17 1/2” from tip to top of gangya.

Keris with ivory handle weighs 495 grams.
Keris with ivory mendak weighs 415 grams.
The Cirebon keris weighs 500 grams.

All weights with handles and mendak still on.

As mentioned, will post separate threads on each to learn a bit more about these examples.
