Detlef, is that painted kendit that I see ?

Sorry Detlef, its not two guesses, I am referring to two separate things which can exist either separately, or together.

The longer wrongko mouth because of a need to allow the blade to enter; the sunken gonjo because of age.

Thanks guys for the compliments, and that you're willing to try to get me in the right direction!

I've tried to change it a little bit, is this a little bit more acceptable?

regards,
Ben

Hi Ben,

good and acceptable! But I personal wouldn't let stick out the blade so much from the wrongko.

Hi Detlef,

I personally prefer it as it rises a little bit above the sheath, now its about 2mm above, with the old sheath it was 3/4mm.
Is your preference to sink it all the way in, or is the 2 mm just to high?

regards,
Ben

Gentlemen, lease take a look on this one: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...=gonjo+sitting, specially post #15.

Ben, it is your decision of course, yet it seems to be absolutely sure that gonjo should be visible on Balinese keris, and 2mm could be fine.

Thanks Gustav,

That makes the choice easy, then i for sure leave him as it is.

regards,
Ben

You are absolutely right Gustav, look for example my keris in this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=13650

I reffering about my personal taste.

Hello Alan,

I only want to confirm that it is in this case the sunken gonjo because of age.

Yes Rick, I think that it is a painted kendit.
