Thank you Marco & Battara for your comment.
@Marco : I put a piece thin plat of iron, I was thinking also to put shell on the hilt and warangka, but I guess this kind of work must be done it in lombok Island, because there...some people can make real good work for putting shell on the wood (At Jangkuk Sayang-sayang village). @Battara : What is the meaning of MOP? Thank you. |

very nice work! I like special the second one. MOP means Mother of Pearl, the shell from Natilus. Best, Detlef |

Thank you Detlef.
This is the last one that I can share , which is our favourit shape of the luk. In the end of the work , I asked him (my friend) about which part the most difficult work for making all of these Keris Sundang, and he said : "Making bigger kruwingan (fuller?) is harder than smaller, every milimeter must carved very carefully to make the kruwingan's line looks smooth" |

Nice contemporary work. I think that maybe the kakatau pommels are a bit too large for the size of these blades and if you want to give them a nicer look you could look into more complicated wrapping methods for the hilts and sheaths. The blades look beautiful. You friend has some talent.
Thanks for sharing. |

There are some (but very few) Moro pandays who still make laminated kris and barong. Most of these I think are on the island of Sulu.
