this features exist and is also used to evaluate the type and value of Keris blades too...
The tone, gradation and length of the vibration is a means used in the past to identify the personality of ones Keris.. FYI. |

A very good point Fearn
.A point which most forget. The sound is not to our pleasure, although you may like it. Originally it was used to show if anything was wrong with the blade. and to this comes the smell to the blade - but you all know about this by now - or if you don't, try a search. Jens |

LOL, yes if nothing is acting to deaden the resonance, then you can hear cracks etc But Katars are a special case with their peculiar architecture making them like a tuning fork. Many weapons do have a specific style of 'voice' but Katars seem uniquely suited to 'singing'. |

I have commented on the 'tuning fork' long time ago, so I don't think I will do so again.

 Your 'comment' about not commenting does come across as rather prickly Jens  Do as you wish matey, the thread was just a bit of fun, not specifically directed at you or anyone else. Perhaps I should continue your theme with a more fittingly laconic reply borrowed from todays youth and simply say..... "whatever"
