Shadow Keris

Well i'm sure that some of you might be wondering just what it is that creates such a beautiful shadow...

....and Kai Wee, i'd say if anyone here has access to beautiful Malay keris worthy of a nice "pin-up" coffee table book it's you...I'll have my agent call your agent and well do lunch...

Can we please see the blade so that it's not againts forum rule of controversial post?

(and make sure it's not the shadow this time so it won't draw further speculation

).

Somebody please do a good reference book of keris Melayu.

Beautiful fittings.. looks like a piece from Kedah. If you don't mind David, can we see the blade..

Well, i sure got myself into a bind this time, didn't i.

As i am sure some of you know it is not generally my practice to show my blades on the internet for numerous reasons, some practical, some personal. But it is also not my intention to be a tease either, so since i have raised the interest level of my own accord i suppose it wouldn't be fair of me not to give you all a bit of a viewing, especially given the relevance of this blade to Kai Wee's concurrent Carita thread.

the lines are so sharp that looking at it can cut...
