Re: Keris stuck in warangka.

I've got a mate in Canada who uses this method too Anthony.

I've seen Pauzan Pusposukadgo give the gandar of a very tightly stuck keris a bit of a tap on a concrete step and then remove it easily.

I've encountered a lot of stuck keris, and the harshest measure I've even taken has been to grip the pesi in a bench vice --- using aluminium jaw liners --- grip the body of the atasan (gambar) of the wrongko with both hands and give it a strong quick jerk. Never had a wrongko that didn't let go, never had a breakage, never had the smallest suggestion of any sort of damage. Its quick, easy and at least for me it has worked every time.

Wrongkos are female in nature, sometimes women get a bit too possessive, a little bit of firm action never does any harm.
