Greetings from Finland.

I´ve been a lurker here for few odd months and decided to register today as I´ve found this forum to be highly educative and filled with knowledgeable people. I am a couple of years from reaching the 40 year milestone but feel a kid at heart. - I am sure that Miss Jussi M. would agree on that but with a noticeable edge on tone (pun intended).

I´ve always been fascinated by bladed weaponry and find the Keris among other bladed weaponry particularly interesting due to it´s unique form and multifaceted historical and cultural aspects. I am here to learn and in the most unlikely scenario if I can ever be of assistance to you I will do my best to do so.

Thanks for your time.

Best,

Jussi

I know this aint a keris but as this is an intro thread what the heck. If this is unacceptable please tell me and I will edit pics off.
















It aint a keris but I hope you like it anyway.

Thanks,

Jussi
