It is much darker (blackened?), a little thicker, and (IMO) could actually serve as a weapon. The hilt is what really sold me though. The jolly little guy appears to be carrying a wine flask, and given his tilt and the amused look on his face I would guess he has a few snorts!

Very nice balinese keris.

The uwer is missing. Try to get a real nice one as replacement.
