Definitely a Keris Sundang.
I'm not as familiar with them as I am with Moro kris (which admittedly I'm still not very knowledgable in compared to most here). Interesting that this is an almost Javanese Keris-like pamor blade instead of a more mildly etched steel moro-style kris blade. I find that there's a lot of both in the Keris Sundang Melayu. |

Hoi Hans,
The Scabbard and hilt looks indeed as a Sundang Malayu . But the pamor and the marangi looks a little javanese... gr, danny |

Hullo everybody!
![]() Reminds me of Sundangs made by a friend of mine in Kelantan. (Apparently his peers believe he is quite good as a panday, as he has received 'recognition'/'acknowledgement' from them). He sometimes chooses the wood for scabbard cross-pieces or toes which, without closer examination, makes them look like aged ivory. Very nice! Best, |

Yeah, measurements would be nice.
Definitely not Moro - not any part of it... Amuk, could you please show an example or two of the work of your friend, please? (Possibly in another thread.) Regards, Kai |

SOOOOO Semar, can YOU tell us more about this keris.
![]() Such as it's dimensions and where is comes from. Frankly, as Kai Wee has suggested, it reminds me of the sundangs that Brekele posted a while back, but at least he gave us full disclosure on those as being newly made in Jawa. I find it troubling if sundangs like this are going to be presented with no further information if they are indeed newly made and my fear when i first saw the ones that Brekele was putting together with his friend was that it would not be long before these new hybrids were being passed along to collectors as antique and traditional. ![]() |

Is the stirrup (baca-baca, asang-asang) there just for show or is it actually attached to the handle?
I think Sajen is wondering if the pesi is round or flat (like a Moro kris would be). ![]() |

It is an interesting mix, although I would agree - not Moro in any respect.
