Hi PUFF. Since this thread you linked to is completely in Thai (which, unfortunately, most of us can't read) i was wondering if you have a question here. I could be wrong, but i believe the first keris posted is what is referred to as keris coteng which i think is probably of southern Thai origin. This one looks to be in pretty poor shape, unfortunately. The other keris looks to be a Jawa keris of Surakarta origin, at least based on the dress which is all that is shown.
On page 2 they get into a bunch of Bugis style keris which may be from a number of different locales including the Malay peninsula. Then they post a number of the Thai form again. Most of these examples are in pretty poor shape as well. The first keris on page 3 is a modern Madurese tourist piece followed by another modern piece in Jawa dress of better quality. They then seem to launch into a discussion of hilt evolution showing examples of both peninsula and Sumatran forms. This part looks most interesting. Perhaps you wish to translate a portion. ![]() |

In the second page, someone showed his inheritage. And then a pic of partially cleaned blade of Kris in the first page. Soneone mentioned poison on the blade. Then, another guy posted an accuired piece (Coteng hilt/Naga blade ????). The 3rd page start with a discussion about the "carved" blade (with a better example ![]() ![]() ![]() There are some pics of carved Kris rack. And then example of Coteng (Sankla/Nakara) hilt. He make into wood-wood/metal-all metal groups. The last group 's Patani 's. Another guy showed seafan examples. The forth page 's started with hilt collection and then blade terminology.

Hi Paul. Nice to see you here.
![]() You might want to send PUFF a PM to encourage his response as i am not sure if he monitors this side of the site all that often. |
