Nias keris thread?

Alam Shah · 9th July 2010, 02:37 AM

Hi Guys..
Initially I wanted to discuss about it in the Keris Warung Kopi with the keris guys, since it was about a form which was called a 'keris'. A a while, it got closed. I've pm the mod who closed it but no reply. So I pm another mod to remove it. Yes, it does contain useful info. I'll reproduce it here..

With reference from Ensiklopedi Keris, pg 78 (which was said to be taken from Den Indonesiske Kris -et symbolladet vaben), the picture showed a short dagger (sheathed), from Nias, Sumatra. The fitting does look a little keris-like.

Thanks Rick, save me the trouble to reproduce.

Actually a move to the main forum would be a better idea..

Sorry for not responding. When you asked for the thread to be closed i actually forwarded your request to Rick to put him in the loop and see what he thought He took care of your request so i didn't see a need to get back to you. I agree that the move seems the best solution.

No worries, David. Thanks for telling.

Perhaps, this thread can close now.. as it is redundant. Since the old thread had been moved..
