Size matters!
It does!
Getting back on track again could you tell what size do you prefer on a keris and reasons why? Thanks, J. |

That is a personal matter That depends on the keris. I have keris ranging in size from an inch to 24 inches.

Every size has it's place and it's purpose.

Might be more a question of hardness, oopps this thread was begging for it . I did try to tame my thoughts. Anything over 9 inches would be intimidating I should think.

I have one keris blade sized 18 inches (without peksi)
Funny enough this is the only keris my wife tells me to keep in the collection Size does not really matter. It is more the feeling that you get (holding the keris) |

Ok, Ok...
Maybe I should have chosen another pic Nevertheless I would like to hear your opinion on why the size varies so much between different kerises and what would you see as the optimal size and why? Thanks, J |
