a keris for my father

[ferrylaki]

My latest keris with nice luk 5, new made handle ( kemuning wood ) , relatively new made warangka ( solo ladrang ) , new made pendok ( copper with gold colour ) , new made mendak...

I'm going to give this keris to my father as a present.
I like to get any opinion regarding this keris.
sorry for the pictures,

FERRY

You're a good son, Ferry.

A most suitable keris, suitable and nice mid-quality dress without being too ostentatious. Your father will be pleased to wear this keris and will remember who his son is.

You've done well.

Thank you Alan,

My father begin to wear javanese beskap to attend a formal wedding ceremonies during his 50 age( a year ago). I guess he start to like my kerises , he took all my kerises a week ago. but most of my kerises uses gayaman warangka so he asked my to make some Ladrang for the beskap.
The reason I pick up the 5 luks keris is for its complete ricikan and nice 5 luks, I think this is a Jogja style keris but I choose a solo warangka for it.
I never knew whether this 5 luks keris is a new made keris or an old one.
I just Like it. The picture doent give much detail, but maybe you something in mind to tell me about the keris? any info would be great. Thank you...

Dear Ferry,

Good choice.
5 luk / pendawa lima is my favorite too. A very harmonious keris.

Best regards,
Willem

Its not a current era keris Ferry. The edges and greneng look like they might have been cleaned up a bit,which is quite acceptable, but it is an older piece.

Nice keris Ferrylaki and a nice gesture. Now i wonder if i shouldn't have had some children when i was younger.
