Two Sumatran keris panjang of kapit construction

[BluErf]

There's this thing about kerises calling their brothers. Very often, I get two kerises with some similar features within months of each other. One of such incidence was when I acquired these two keris panjang within months of each other, and both had blades made using kapit construction. If you look carefully, the base of the blade in both specimen are different material from the rest of the blade.
