Yes David, you are correct, "whole K&C"does mean in its entirety, I did not phase that well. I'll try to do better.

Very true Dr.
I grew up with dibble sticks.

Actually, that idea of "Bugis style" is very probably a bit off track. Monumental evidence indicates that the scabbard used in East Jawa during the Mojopahit era was the same form that we now call a...

The kembang kacang is broken, so I'm guessing that an akut is what is called a kembang kacang in Jawa.

It is a pity that it is not perfect, but something like this in Jawa/Bali is normally given...

In respect of the pamor for this keris, I'd be a bit hesitant in giving it as pedaringan kebak. Pamor PK is a...

Yes, some keris dress used in Madura is highly ornamented, my memory is that this ornamentation is not limited to sandang walikat form.

Yeah, that makes sense Tatyana.

The big positive quality of wootz is supposedly its superior cutting quality, but this is...
