Martin, I understand you very well! I buy keris sometimes for parts only, wrongko, pendok, handle and mendak. And when the pendok is indeed from silver and the price was right, you did well! ;)

Lol, Hudeidao and Batt jum dao means butterfly swords because there are 2 blades like the wings of a butterfly, so a one bladed sword is not a Butterfly sword, therefore a single blade one...

Hello Jose,

Agree with Ian, a very nice ivory hilt but a very unusual carving for a Tausug hilt. The scabbard of the keris could be Malay but the blade doesn't strike me as Malay.

Hi Ian,
