10 luk blade ?
In the invincible krises 2, the author shows a 10 luk keris.
I bought a small keris with a blade that appers to be very old, or at least very often cleaned and restained is this a 10 luk blade ? |

AS you point out, it is an old blade with a bit of erosion. It is quite possible that the 11th luk wore away.

I think you have a good point, David (get it? ). I think at the tip there is evidence of an 11th luk.

Agreed guys, originally 11 luks, (Battara, I got it ).
I have a blade of similar material.. but 5 luks.. if the luks were shorter, it might be missing as well. http://alamshah.fotopic.net/p32027860.html |
