Rencong for comment

Henk & Willem,
Thank you very much. I wanted to get an authentic (menaing, not touristy) rencong, and I hope I have come far compared to my previous attempt:

I brought the pattern out with diluted vinegar, but I will probably try citric acid. I have read from Alan Maisey that pineapple juice work good. Can anyone confirm this?

Anyway, thank you all very much, I am very happy with this rencong, which will now take its place next to a munitions grade sikin I have. Aceh weapons can be very interesting and addictive and I will have to watch out.

Regards,
Teodor
