Keris Buda

[rasjid]

Ok noted your explanation. Is your KB in the hand also "feel" heavy as well?
I understand it has been coroded long time and lost alot of its steel, but does it feeling heavy on hand? Because I think your KB is quite thick as well.

I'm trying to make a note for myself here. I have seen a few KBs newly made material is heavy and corrosion can be adjusted for whole blade or certain areas. The hardest part is when people start using very old material to make one as you have mention in the previous post. So how we distinguish?

I'm not playing tangguh game here, but for keris KB can we start by:
1. Look at the whole blade pawakan and imagine in their original form if the whole blade fits and feels right?
2. Corosion on the blade? Questionable?
3. Material used. Sometimes difficult to see texture or maybe heavily corroded with rust so hard to see. Here, maybe the weight can play a part to distinguish the material used?

May be others can add or discuss above points?

Thank you.
