What kind of tools are used to carve a keris?
 
I'm interested in finding out what kind of tools are used to do the complex carving and shaping of a keris blade after forging.

What old-style and newer tools would be used?

Hi Montino,
Have you seen the Forge Work section under Pictures at Alan's site ? :)

I can't find it right now, but i think i remember a recent thread where Alan posted images of his own inherited carving tools. Maybe he can direct us to it. :)

Post 59 in the meteoric patrem thread has pics of some of my tools.

As David says, I also posted a pic of Empu Suparman's tools, but I don't know where.
