Rasdan, I could not understand why you raised the question of quality, and I've been thinking about this. Then I realised that I had written:-

I've seen a great many blades of this type and quality

I suspect that you understood my use of the word "quality" to mean that I considered this blade to be of quality. Not so. I did not use an adjective with the word "quality", because I do not like to be overtly offensive. I left it for others to decide exactly what level of quality I intended.

Sorry for creating this misunderstanding.

G'day Alan,

Actually I asked about quality because I thought the shape of the first keris looks nice, only the greneng is strange. The second keris to me is not so bad either; maybe not a masterpiece, and I was wondering if there is something we can say about it. Anyhow, no worries, I understand there's a lot of barriers in discussing keris online.
