How would you define this kris

Gentlemen, Michel makes a point that is absolutely correct - English is not the subject of this thread. For me it is clear that English has become something like the "international language" (for better or for worse) mostly due to the imperialistic nature of both England in the past and the USA in the present. I don't wish to argue this point nor see it debated here. Let's move on with matters that pertain to keris.

Hi David,
I am surprised by the following :
I just received a message from: ljones@vikingsword.com announcing a message from Karsten Sejr Jensen (the author of Krisdisk):
"You may find a this type of reflection pamor on a kris from Pattani on the Krisdisk chapter10 fig 194 and a kris with a rather similar type of blade with pichit markings in the Krisdisk chapter 8 Fig 118.
Kind regards
Sejr"
and giving the address :

When I went to the thread, the last message is yours.
I cannot say "thank you" to Sejr and the rest of the Warung Kopi members cannot enjoy this information.
Do you understand what is happening and can you help resolve the problem ? Or do I have to report it to someone else ?
Thanks
Michel

Kind regards

Sejrdress :

David, I have noted your gentle reminder that this thread is not about the English language, and this post is not intended to continue discussion along lines already defined as unacceptable by our most respected Moderator.

However, it would be remiss of me if I did not add that any remarks I may make in respect of the English Language must be regarded as the remarks of one who is unabashedly prejudiced.

Thanks Alan. Just for the record i am a bit of a fan of the English language myself and this is, afterall, an English language forum.

Now....onward please!

Michel, i am afraid i do not quite understand what you are asking here. I don't believe Mr. Jensen is a member here so he chose to contact you through the site owner Lee Jones. The link in that message brought you back to this thread because it is the thread Mr. Jensen is referring to. His book on CD, called Krisdisk, has received a bit of discussion on this forum and there is information to order it if you wish to here:

I do not own it yet, so i cannot comment on the information he has passed on to you. Perhaps others who own the disk can. At this point in time i am still of the opinion that your keris blade did not originate in Pattani, though this new information might change that opinion once i actually see it for myself.
