Dear All,
nothing very refined, nevertheless a nice blade (55,5 cm) of its kind, particularly the subtle tapering to the tip. About 40% of outer binding on handle is gone. The quite fine inner binding isn't a repair, it goes under the outer and can be seen at some places. An interesting feature is the inserted Jalen/Tjalen (that's how it's called in Keris terminology, sorry). The pommel is not small. Comments are welcome! |

Thank you, gentlemen!
Except for some spots of more or less active rust I will leave it as it is. It will look better with the battered handle as it is. No expectations of some special welding miracles, these pieces usually have the most simple construction, like Thilos kris: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=lukky or a kris Stefan sold a while ago: http://www.ashokaarts.com/shop/old-m...o-philippines- Actually very few of these many Luk pieces are upper class, the most notable exception being: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...guindanao+kris I would be interested in your opinions, why such pieces with an exaggerated number of Luk did appear at all. |

Also, the more luks, the more active the "snake" is and the more lethal it is. |

Thank you all again!
Perhaps CCUAL referred to the kris in the link he provided - it's indeed a 29 Luk blade, like Thilo's. |

Hello Dave, how are you? You were the one that shown me how to count the luks during the Pasadena knife show years back, may be I had forgotten how to count it. Here is the photo.
Thanks Gustav. Quote:

I think Dave thought you were referring to the original posted blade. He may not have followed your link. The one you just posted (also in your link) does indeed seem to be 29 luk. A thing of beauty as well.

Yes Chris, i was referring to the posters original pictures. I like your collection. Some really classic pieces. I especially like the Panabas. Don't see very many around that good...........Dave.
