Symbolism of Bali Cecekahan handle?

David,

I might be wrong but I´ve understood that the Balinese kerises are more or less gripped like you would a normal big handled kitchen knife. That said I gather that every guy in the old days had his own favorite way of grasping the weapon if used as such. - Not doing so would be pretty unlikely IMO but this is an area I have no expertise in so dont know. The contrary just sounds illogical.

Alexander Karelin is the greatest still living wrestler ever. Famous not only because he was on a league of his own in his heyday but also because of his huge build and intellectual virtuosity in such areas as writing and poetry to name a few. - A true renaissance man if you will.

Anyways I think we still havent found any answers to the original question Erik asked, anybody?
