[satsujinken]

newly made, tell me what you think

not for sale, though

[Battara]

Was this blade bronze brazed?

Hum, forging flaws and poor carving of the ganja & greneng, not a masterpiece IMO

correct, that's exactly what I'd like to draw your attention here, I have seen several badiks and kerises lately, from bugis, and some of the old has some kind of gold - welded as "glue" (possibly) to weld cracks and some which used brass like that piece abova

is this a common practice ?

I could be wrong, but while this certainly is a Bugis style blade i am not convinced that it is actually from a Bugis smith.

I assure you it is from bugis smith, but not a master yet
perhaps he got influenced by javanese keris ?

Is this from the same pande who made the keris you showed in your introduction post?

seems not, there are quite striking differences in the finishing section and architectures (rancang bangunnya)

Andi tenri polojiwa , he make this Keris, and winner to in festival Keris making in Jogja I think, but he can't make like my Keris posting, we garapnya absolutely perfect, we makeit like a bugis style true, by the way that is not gold but yellow iron
