New forged keris for review
Hi fellow collectors
I would like to hear from you in term of quality, overall setup etc for this new keris. Personally I found it 'ugly' or unpleasant. |

The pamor Jarot Asem Wengkon (?) is very finely made IMO.

The pamor is brilliant.
The rest of this keris is out of proportion, poorly carved and just plain ugly, in a word:- kaku. |

and what a difference we have, the original is something pretty nice, just the difference in detail & proportion destroys the copy.
