Lovely work. The painting looks very nice indeed but it is hard to see the background detailing in your photos, any chance of some better shots please

Seems to be begging for kinatah. Do you have any plans for adding that on the gonjo?

I am also very impressed by the high quality of this kris, especially the blade and the silver sampleng (pendok). And I agree with David that the blade would deserve a finely made kinatah.
However I feel that the cekah redut hilt (originally worn by soldiers) is too stiff and dull for this highly decorative piece, I whould rather select an ivory or silver togogan hilt...
Regards

Indeed. i intend to use this hulu for other keris. I actually uses a silver grantim for this keris instead.

I regret NO as I cannot find a qualified person whom I can also comm. in English, to do it.
