some comment on a keris

Welcome to the forum kerinchi.
Just some clarification. You made the dress for this keris but not the blade, correct? Do you also forge blades as well. I can't tell from you website if you made these other knives or just the dress.
Frankly, the photos aren't clear enough for me to give you any real opinion on your work, though i can see right off that your carving skills are better than mine.

I will say that from the photos you appear to have overfinished your work just a bit. It's just a bit too shiny for my tastes. Can you show us some better lit photos of the hulu?
