Ditto to that, and hopefully comes unnoticed. There are many with 'hawk eyes'. ;)

I think many of the "hawk eyes" are from Singapore, :D some fierce collectors (and some low keyed of course) there. Understand the 4rd keris in Man's post of 22nd also went to Spore. ;)

100% agree !!!
But.... I won't to give my opinion about that. Just at SWAP forum ;)
I think John more knew about the kerises which 'flying' to Spore :D :D

Keris Pendawa Karna Tinanding
 

Hello Alam Shah,

I really like the keris you just had ;) Hmmm... Does it come in Luk 9? I'm looking for one just like that :p Cool... As long as the piece you like could qualify as what a keris should be? Well be pround of it :) I have to agree with you, I too believe that as a so called "new generation keris collectors" we should maintain an open mind. Its Unique and its You ;)

Hmm?! Welcome to the forum.
Your writing style reminds me of someone...;) I know.

Keris Pageant
 

Hello Alam Shah,

Hey.... Congratulation on the winning of your Keris Pendawa Karna Tinanding Pudak Sategal in this year's Keris Pageant held at the Taman Warisan Istana Kampung Gelam. Be proud and be you.... ;)

Thanks Isreena, I like this piece a lot. I guess it's a personal thing. :p

The person who commissioned this piece had an eye for details, hence a well-made blade with nice fittings. Tayuman (ukiran) and Nagasari (warangka) wood are prized premium fittings (imo). :D

A luk 9 piece would look great too. The philosophy of the luk 9 could follow the 'The 9 Walis' (Wali 9 or Wali Songo) theme. Just a suggestion. ;)

Keris Pageant
 

Well done Shah and congrats again. I hear Paul still rules and Kai Wee swept the Sulawesi Bugis :D. Looking forward to the pics.

Paul's winning is no surprise given the super pieces in his collection! And the reason why my keris won was because Tengkurizan didn't put in any of his Bugis kerises!! :D
