Like Freddy's Keris, this one has the hilt facing an odd direction. It is difficult to remove the hilt. I didn't want to use too much force in fear of breaking it.
Bugis I believe it to be. Hefty blade measuring at 16 in., in length. I picked up 3 Keris' in the past week. More to follow. |

Beautiful blade Kino. I don't believe it is Bugis though. It is a keris carita i think and it looks peninsula to me, maybe Terranganu. I have one similar in form.
Just curious, when you say difficult to move do you mean it is fixed completely or is there some play? |

A beautiful Peninsular Malaysian blade, probably originated from Terengganu. On it's type and origin... looks like a Carita or 'Tok Chu' piece... hmmm.

Thanks guys for the edification.
There is no cloth. It's remnants of old adhesive. It doesn't wiggle or budge. I will carefully heat the blade up when I get the courage, someday..... |
