nice krises

A Javanese and a Bugis kris , my guess is that the horn hilt is the Bugis? In that case it is most probably buffalo horn. I have a Bugis with a buffalo horn hilt.

I don't think it is a prerogative of a 5 luk kris being Ganja Iras. Any kris straight or with luk may or may not be created without a Ganja.
