Repaired keris from Malaysia

[imas560]

and a photo of knives on a table when we went to pick up. No blades in detail but we turned up in the middle of a wedding and everyone was very obliging and were interested in the blades. The keris in question had a lot of interest. And the kerismaker is the gentleman wearing specs in the blue shirt (Encik Abdul Mazin Jamil), awesome artisan. If anyone is ever interested in visiting his workshop in the kampung let me know and I'll send contact details.

Oh! Pak Mazin, one of the famed kerismaker from Padang Changkat, Kuala Kangsar, Perak, Malaysia..

I agree that the hilt looks awkward.. the base is too big, perhaps made to fit into the pendokok (hilt cup).. the sheath, as mentioned.. made from well-selected wood..
