To court controversy over our usual distain for weapons made for those who travel and modern Indian made steel and silver inlaid historic copies ect?

The reverence and mystery shown to the Kris to me is some what crestfallen.

GP, i viewed your videos and they all seem focussed on the Indonesian keris, not its Moro cousin. So i am transferring this to the Keris Forum.

maybe to you but to an Indonesian this vid was not, reading one of the comments :

"Pak Subandi, Mas Danar dan rekan2 lainya, mohon lanjutkan tradisi leluhur kita. Jangan lupa mengupdate teknik2 tersebut tanpa melupakan tradisi. Ilmu2 metalurgi banyak yg berkembang, gandeng rekan2 dari kampus"

Translated:

"Mr. Subandi, Mas Danar and other colleagues, please continue the traditions of our ancestors. Don't forget to update these techniques without forgetting tradition. Many metallurgical sciences are developing, in collaboration with colleagues from campus"


seems it is all in the eye of the beholder but who am I to contradict both him and you...

Perhaps you can add a vid showing how the kris's are made which supports and represents your thoughts / point of view ?

This is not making a keris; it's someone from another culture making a (K.L.O.), keris like object from crucible steel.

It might win a challenge on the Forged in Fire television series.
