Congrats, nice Palembang combo!
This Sumatran gonjo iras blade certainly deserves a decent stain. Regards, Kai |

THE FOSSIL MOLAR CAN BE BRITTLE AND SOME IS MORE UNSTABLE THAN OTHERS MAKEING IT RISKY TO WORK. AS A RESULT MOST CARVING IS USUALLY VERY SIMPLE.
SOMEONE WENT THE EXTRA MILE ON THIS AS ITS THE BEST CARVING I HAVE SEEN USING THIS MATERIAL. A VERY NICE KERIS BE CAREFUL WITH IT TO AVOID SHEDING TEARS ![]() |

![]() For me this just begs the question - what are the talismanic properties of this material and where can I find literature on it? |

Jose: I read somewhere in one of the kris books that in the "old days" molar
tooth was thought to be an antidote to poisons, especially in the middle eastern Islamic countries. It also was a trade item coming from Russian Siberia. Modern knifemakers here in the U.S are also starting to use it on their custom knife handles after it is stabilized. Don't know how it would hold up under hunting conditions I wonder if Alan knows more about this material. Dave. |
