Greetings,
if I have understood correctly, for the most part of the last couple hundred years the kerises in Java have not been made so much with the actual possible usage in combat in mind but weighting other aspects much talked about here. Because of this - if I am not mistaken - most Javanese contemporary kerises do not have been heat treated to have the resilience and other attributes that a weapons grade blade heat treated for such a usage in mind would posses. I would kindly ask for those on the forum that have "weapons grade" Javanese kerises to share us some insight on their respective ages and other information on the matter. - For example insight on when did the heat treatment of "weapons grade" kerises halted in Java. Please - if I have presented here something that is not true correct me - I do not want to spread false information due to my own ignorance. Thanks, J. |
