Keris to share
I was drawn to the handle on this keris. It has a lovely reddish hue that old wood gets from many, many years. I also like the big beefy blade.

Hello Rick,
The hilt does seem to have some age, indeed. Quite well carved, too - these are much less common than more modern interpretations. Regards, Kai |
