I don't think in terms of a razor blade, but I have often likened the thinness of old keris to the thinness of a piece of paper.

It's indeed a piece of paper. I can't believe how can such a thin blade survive 100 years.

Based on what I learn today, I think this Javanese blade discussed before must be old and genuine too. Because it's also thin, not as thin as this paper-like one, but still thin and vounarable in the point.
