Hi,

On the hunt for nice stuff I bought this kudi because it doesn't look to me recent manufactured. However my name is mandaukudi I'm not enough into the market of kudi's.

Arjan.

hi, nice one

the older hindu ones have three holes, the newer islamic ones have 5 (representing the 5 pillars of the faith)

they are quite interesting 'weapons'

i was surprised at how big mine was, 10.5 inch blade

HEY! sadly its moved ! I think kudi's are more keris related objects and the kudi knowledge is more among keris collectors, but we'll see

Hi Rick,

I understand your problem of keeping the kerisforum the keris forum and also read your link. But when my wife keeps the house too clean , my visitors are afraid to come in....

I have worked in a supermarket ( glad I'm away

)and if we tried to sell eggs between the bears suddenly we sold less of it....

Arjan.

interesting, the few new ones i've seen with 5 holes had 4 along the top as yours and one near the blade edge. maybe yours has fallen victim to cleaning along the edge? yours has a good ol' notch just where i'd expect the 5th hole. haven't heard of one with 4 holes yet, but i'm not even close to any expertise..
