I read a short story .
That story led me to the keris .
The Keris led me here .
This forum exists because of that story .

Add me to the Silk Road Gang, maritime branch .

I have two named maker pieces, both are signifigant to Modern Keris history .

Mostly I buy for the keris; I see keris making as an exercise in achieving excellence within a proscribed form (Haiku in Iron?) .
The challenge is to be able to recognise that excellence when it is seen .

I bought the story years ago .
