I thought someone else would have commented by now.
I'm i the only one who wonders why this was the winning keris. I mean, i certainly don't this it is a bad or unattractive blade, the the winner? I would have suspected something that showed more skill over a larger range of ricikan.

Maybe something like this David?

This maker was pretty much a beginner too when he made this.

David - not sure what the criteria is. I wish we got to see all the entries of each cohort.

Alan we can crowdfund and smuggle you in as a freshman for the class of 2024. Bring home the gold for Keris Warung Kopi.

Naw, that won't work Jaga.

If they would not accept my teacher as a lecturer, they won't accept me.

Anyway, done that, been there. I only ever learnt to make in order to better understand, not earn a living or try to win prizes.

There are 49 mandays in what you see here, excluding the stain.
