 ...but then again perhaps it was done for aesthetic purposes, since with a blade looking like this, coupled with a decorated hilt, it would look sharp as heck. or the original owner has direct indo ties

Hi Rick, I was not thinking about context of the pamor and moro peoples, but more in the talent of the young pande for making new style of the keris, skill and his art work.
What is asang asang, is it name of Keris Sundang's ricikan? Honestly I dont know it. So, sorry ...cannot answer your question. |

What wonderful work!
 Asang-asang means the clamp where the hilt and the blade meet. I think it is a Sulu PI word. |
