Keris Measurement

Thank you for your comments Alan, could you explain with the Balinese method do you simply measure directly up the centre of the blade including the gonjo. I was/am a bit confused by the reference to the aring in Skeat's description as in my ignorance I thought this was a term for the outermost tail section of the gonjo and hence could not see how you measured up the centre of the blade with this as the starting point.
cheers
David
