The first two pics show the blade of my keris, the others show how i'd like that my blade was (the third and the fourth one are taken from another thread and is a Lew's keris {sorry Lew  }). Thank you  |
Hi,
Nice keris, Flavio. Congrat. !
To remove the rust and clean the keris, you can use the Coconut water. Get the ripe coconut. Put your keris into coconut water then waiting for 1-2 days. It can take 3-4 days too, dependt with the rust which patched at the blade. Cleaning the blade with shoap every 6 hours.The rust will remove and you will get the pamor pattern.
