A Keris in a new video game, and.... it's not terrible?

Hello All,

We don't often see the keris show up in pop culture, and when we do they're usually horridly inaccurate.
Well, it's happened again, Assassin's Creed: Black flag - Resynch has this set of "rapiers" and honestly, they're not that bad. The scale is obviously just wrong, but I've definitely seen worse from places where I'd expect better.

And actually, on second thought, an obviously freshly made Keris being presented as having been under water for "centuries" *IS* pretty accurate to the Keris market.

Anyway, enjoy.

Have fun,
Leif
