Palembang keris for comment

Ah! yes... A simple and no nonsense tough-looking blade. Was monitoring this piece. The selut seems to be a little oversize.

Perhap a close-up of the piece when you've got it and touched-up a bit.

So you are the new owner now. Congrats !!
Actually, was tempted to bet on that but later overlooked with my work loads.

That is really a practical and functional keris. Like what Alam Shah said, no-nonsense blade. Try stab a banana stem and you'll know what I mean.

The keris arrived today. I put some polish on it and it brought it back nicely.
There are two nicks in the blade but all in all not a bad little keris.

Hmmm... it looks better now. The selut seems ok, too.
Overall, a nice little ganja iras piece. Thanks for showing.

The blacky blade sure look fierce. Love it. Is it ganja iras...?? Looks not to me.

What is ganja iras? I am not familiar with these specific names.

Thanks

Hi Lew...means the gonjo and the blade are all one piece like that Sumatran Patrem you sold to me. Frankly i can't quite tell from the pics. Often with gonjo iras a line is etched to represent a division. When i first saw pics of that patrem i didn't catch that it was iras so this could be the same. But you should be able to tell in person.

BTW, i quite like this little blade. Please let me know if you ever get tired of it. I would give it a nice home...
