Hardening keris sombro/pejet - an indecent anecdote?
I am reading an excerpt from Jean Greffioz' book The Keris. Legendary Weapon from Indonesia which mentions keris sombro/pejet and the legendary Empu Ni Brok Sombro. Jean mentions:
"Another legendary speciality from empu Sombro was her very personal technique for hardening the kris blades, but the decency forbids me to relate it here. An old kris Sombro is shown on picture 2C."Well heck, now I'm intrigued! Does anyone know this technique? |

Well it was either going to be related to body parts or things that come out of body parts. I guess now I'm on the right track. Ah the wonderful world of mythical forging!

Hum, this legend is related in my previous book "The Kris, a passion from Indonesia" I think :) David is correct in his interpretation...

Sorry for the misattribution, Jean. Noted.
Hm, I seem to lack imagination, or maybe not seeing as I was presented with the "what if's..." about other indecencies :P |
