Pandai Saras Luk 9

Thanks David.

Since execution detail seems to vary pretty widely, as does material and dhapur, would it be reasonable to say that when the description "Pandai Saras" is used, what we are to understand is the style of workmanship?

Maybe a bit similar to tangguh in Javanese keris, except that with tangguh, material is one of the indicators.

Actually, when I look at a "Pandai Saras", and some other blades from outside Jawa, what I see is Madura Sepuh --- yeah, there are very slight differences, but overall:- Madura Sepuh.
