Features of this keris.

Kai Wee, i wasn't talking about Mans display of newly made keris, i was referring to Martin's (simatua) karno tinanding example which is, at least to my eye, inferior in both overall form and craftsmanship. I agree with you about Mans' examples and have never been one to be swayed by a fancy dapor.

Ops... must be because I'm half asleep when I posted the reply at 1:40am local time...

Incidentally, Martin's keris may be a bit rougher in the blade's department, but the hilt is really good, and so are the sheath and pendok.

Hello Alam Shah,

I really like the keris you just had

Hmmm... Does it come in Luk 9? I'm looking for one just like that

Cool... As long as the piece you like could qualify as what a keris should be? Well be pround of it

I have to agree with you, I too believe that as a so called "new generation keris collectors" we should maintain an open mind. Its Unique and its You

Hmm?! Welcome to the forum.
Your writing style reminds me of someone...

I know.

Hello Alam Shah,

Hey.... Congratulation on the winning of your Keris Pendawa Karna Tinanding Pudak Sategal in this year's Keris Pageant held at the Taman Warisan Istana Kampung Gelam. Be proud and be you....

Thanks Isreena, I like this piece a lot. I guess it's a personal thing.

The person who commissioned this piece had an eye for details, hence a well-made blade with nice fittings. Tayuman (ukiran) and Nagasari (warangka) wood are prized premium fittings (imo).

A luk 9 piece would look great too. The philosophy of the luk 9 could follow the 'The 9 Walis' (Wali 9 or Wali Songo) theme. Just a suggestion.

Paul's winning is no surprise given the super pieces in his collection! And the reason why my keris won was because Tengkurizan didn't put in any of his Bugis kerises!!
