Dear keris aficionados:
I would like to know whether the skewness (condong, leleh, mayat) of a keris blade determines/refers to particular tangguh. Can it also be used to judge/evaluate/appraise that the blade is fit with pakem? Is there any exact value (in a degree of skewness) that must be obeyed in making a keris blade? Is an Mpu allowed freely to apply the degree of skewness based on his taste? Just for information, a new keris magazine (PUSAKA KERIS Khasanah Budaya Nusantara) has been released. The first edition was released last week (15 Feb – 16 March edition). The advisor is Mr. Wiwoho Basuki, one of respected keris connoisseurs in Indonesia. It’s a good news for keris community since there are two magazines (along with Pamor Magazine which started earlier) so that the needs of readings about keris can be fulfilled. Regards. |
