10 luk blade ?

Battara · 9th January 2009, 04:48 AM

I think you have a good point, David (get it?

). I think at the tip there is evidence of an 11th luk.

Agreed guys, originally 11 luks,

(Battara, I got it

).

I have a blade of similar material.. but 5 luks.. if the luks were shorter, it might be missing as well.

Thanks for the comments.

Any idea on how old this blade might be.

Might be 10/30 years this one heavely acid to make it look older .

Ben and Willem, i would say that "in jokes" between the two of you are probably best kept to PM conversation, lest we all get the impression that the two of you don't really like each other.

Well Ben, anything is possible, but i don't get the impression that this is an artificially aged blade. What makes you think so?

The blade is very bad misused with wateracid they use in an car battery to hide the real age we see this a lot mostly bring back from dutch army guys in the 50 to make it look better put in an decent scabbard an nice hilt on it .

It also looks that they use kachelpotlood on it I don t now the Enghlis worth for it

If an kris that is real nice one it has better treathment so there is nothing
to hide and no use off aggressive acid needed .

Here an pic off 2 kris that are recently washed on the right way

Ben, Pretty but slightly rusty examples. not relevant in this thread imho.

Does anybody have any serious comment on the age of this washed down 11/10 luk blade ? maybe on basis of dapur ?
