I thought the blade is a very decent blade! Has a settled old look to it, and definitely made by a pandai who knew what he was doing.

These small kerises are common in the Peninsula. They are called keris selit, and are specially as dress kerises, for formal events. I think I mentioned this in another thread recently.
