Modern interpretations of traditional design?

Greetings all,

there has been discussions regarding this theme but I am interested on knowing your thought regarding the modernization of the keris art. In your opinion, what type of modernization you generally see as acceptable evolution in the keris art?

Do we want it or not, the power tools of modern age are here and save for the dying out(?) "old school" traditionalists and few and between in-door students of the old ways of keris manufacturing. So, lets not concentrate on tools on this thread; instead lets concentrate on the design and material side of things

What do you feel is acceptable evolution or is there such thing to begin with? I personally am too ignorant to say anything regarding the subject but as it interests me why not ask?

Best,

J
