The straightforward kinatah thread

Jussi M. · 10th July 2010, 01:58 AM

Greetings,

I am trying to obtain information on the art and craft of kinatah. There are a lot of threads that partly address it but I had yet to find one that concentrates in it from the perspective of addressing what kinatah actually stands for, ie. what functions does it have, and or did have (name time/place); what methods are used to apply kinatah on a keris and what differences are there in the materials used? Also of interest is whether there are clear geographical differences regarding the aforementioned and if, what are they?

The best info that I was able to find so far has been presented on this thread.

Please continue on this thread. Also, if you can name good sources that concentrate on the art and craft of kinatah I am all ears!

Thanks,

J.
