Dear fellow collectors,

I hereby enclose pictures of my newly-commissioned Minangkabau Keris Naga blade (with and without warangan) that was forged in Madura.

Nice art work and pamor Lawe Satukel but I won't call it a Minang blade....

New artistic design but not my cup of tea.

I would have to agree that despite drawing references from Minangkabau style naga keris, you can't really call this one and i don't believe anyone looking at it with any knowledge of that style would think it was. If it truly was you intention to own a keris that could be identified as Minang i don't believe this is it.
However, what you have had created by your Madurese smith is an attractive modern "art" keris that seems to have some decent craftsmanship behind it. Like Paul i would say this is not my "cuppa", but i can appreciate the work that went into it.
