Fusion Kris
 
I am not a Kris lover or specialist, but this one appealed to me.

Obviously, a lot of Western influence, but the final result is much more "war-like" than the traditional examples and much more exotic than the European blades. I particularly liked the execution of multiple planes and fullers on the blade.
Very striking!

Ariel, this is a keris pedang from either Bali or Lombok. I am not sure exactly what you see as obvious Western influence, but this is not a fusion in any sense of the word, it is a traditional Indo design.
