The addiction is becoming more and more serious... i just received my third kris
![]() The 27 luk blade is 58cm (22.8'') long and has a seperate ganja. below the protective coating blade laminations that follow the luks are visible. The asang-asang appear to be made from copper. The hilt sports several metal bands and quite complex cord bindings with two myterious wooden sticks on the sides. The blackened scabbard on the other hand is made from very light wood and of very poor quality. According to the seller this one has been in the previous owners family since the early twenties of last century. The brownish tint comes from dried oil that covers all metal parts. Next step would be cleaning the oil from the metal parts. Best Regards, Thilo |
