Good selection of wood. Nice. Yup the hilt looked rather unusual from that angle of picture.

thanks everyone,
I have only a couple of photos as we had to pack to fly out the next day, the wife had a friend we hadn't seen in ten years turning up at 10pm, the wife and I were struggling with a flu that we had caught on Christmas Day and she started getting a little bit edgy when she caught me with a camera and the blades. I managed to convince her it was extremely important that I take photos for permits so she grudingly ok'd with the proviso to make it quick. She doesn't understand the sickness but she tries to accommodate, truly a great lady. When I get the items in my hands I'll post better, detailed pics. But here are the ones I took. |

and a photo of knives on a table when we went to pick up. No blades in detail but we turned up in the middle of a wedding and everyone was very obliging and were interested in the blades. The keris in question had a lot of interest. And the kerismaker is the gentleman wearing specs in the blue shirt (Encik Abdul Mazin Jamil), awesome artisan. If anyone is ever interested in visiting his workshop in the kampung let me know and I'll send contact details.

I agree that the hilt looks awkward.. the base is too big, perhaps made to fit into the pendokok (hilt cup).. the sheath, as mentioned.. made from well-selected wood.. |
