Hello Detlef,
Thank you for the help. Sepokal. Bugis influence . But if I check other sepokal blades I see that they often have the blade edges that are so typical of bugis blades. So , would we call this blade Bugis ? or can it be another area ? |

I fully agree with Sajen and would also attribute this kris to Bugis Riau but am open to other opinions. Not all Bugis blades have gusen on the edges!

I believe that you will see some pamor if you clean and stain the blade properly, see attached examples of Bugis blades after and before treatment ... Regards |

I do not have the skills and material to do a warangan stain. I have stained the blade with lemon juice for approx 24 hours an got the results as below. In my opinion their is no pamor in this blade. What do you think ? Bestregards, Willem |

Hello Willem,
seems that you are correct! When I am you I would bath the blade inside the lemon juice until all rust spots are removed and would let the blade in this status. In my opinion the pamorless is a sign that it is a Malay blade. Regards, Detlef |

Hello Willem,
Hum, the blade is well cleaned and no traces of pamor indeed! I fully agree with Sajen. Best regards Jean |
