The value/beauty of a keris/kris, be it intrinsic.... esoteric.... or exoteric. is in the eyes of the beholder.
A gift should be given special value. I have a keris that was sent/given to me by a total stranger whom I have never even met. While it may not have much value to others. it takes pride of place in my collection.
.... It may be of value to remember what gave rise to the term: 'White Elephant'....
