Thank you Rick
I will add a few pics of the blade profile later, and read the link you posted.
Hi David,
an older blade

that would be great. I never, before, realised the complexities of Keris .....no wonder you guys have a separate forum
I will certainly read through the posts about the use of meteoric ore ....I know I will find it fasinating. Having held a few meteors and knowing that these travelled the great void of space for millions of years is a 'strange experience'.... no wonder their importance if forged into blade
Thank you all for making me feel so welcome, I appreciate it.
Kind Regards David
