New member - comment: New made Keris

[rasjid]

Dear All,

Sorry for the confusion. I'm not selling the keris as mention by Alamshah, this is my private collection. The maker, Huri, is famous for his kilin design. The scabbard is full one solid wood (kemuning wood) made by Jaknal (madura as well, but he is base in Jakarta). Jaknal engraved most my ivory collections, refer to my website.

PenangsangII, I'm not sure the material used but definitely not meteorit as its hard to get. I will try to get some more info. Madura keris mostly use old rail way, spring from old trucks and even alloy or nickel from car/motorbike rims. As far as I know, Madura already become a specialized industry: the 'pande' who make the blade material, the keris maker, scabbard, etc all done by different people.

I hope I can visit Central Java or Madura mid July and see them direct in action.

thanks
