Welcome to our little coffee bar, LP!
 The hilt looks very nicely done with especially deep carving. Has it been stained to yield a deeper color? If possible, adding pictures taken from a plain side view (orthogonal and not at some fancy angle) would be really great. This is especially important for getting a better idea of the blade, please! I believe this also is a karmadikan blade (very difficult to estimate from the pics though). Could you give us an overview on the current blacksmithing done in Sulawesi Selantan, please? I have seen quite a few blades of current era production and I would be very interested to hear some insider info about the empu/panre doing this work! If it's too tough to do in English, just write it in Bahasa Indonesia and we'll try to do a translation... Thanks a lot for your efforts to post in English! I know it's tough, especially in the beginning! Regards, Kai |
