Introduction and Keris for comment

Hi Jhony. It might very well be an older keris, but all the carvings on it are new. Then they give it a heavy-handed acid wash to hide the newness of the carvings. This is a way to take very ordinary old blades and make them marketable.

Well...

I actually like the overall look what ever the quality and pedigree it may posses

Thanks,
