...please lets see them high luk Javanese kerises and hear what you know about them

What is a high luk number? Well, I guess that is arguable but lets start conservatively with above 13 luk please.

Thanks,

Possibly it is your intention to go there, but you might want to attach as a rider to this thread a question about the meaning of different luk numbers at different times in Javanese keris history. What is the significance to have a keris with luk 11 or 13. I must say that i can't particularly recall seeikng too many Javanese keris with more than 13 luk. I do have a couple of 15 luk Balinese keris.
