interesting point, david.
in that collection i saw, not one showed any type of pattern. matter of fact, the collection was kept "western style", in that it was left untouched.
perhaps not mirrored finish but rather just as is...

rick,

dam, would love to hit some real surf right about now, lol.
as far as the pointy luks, that was my impression when i saw this kris.
here are some close ups:

Oh my !
That is really nice work Ron .

David · 15th July 2008, 10:23 PM

Thanks for your example Rick as well as your close-ups Ron.
I'm not sure that the Kampilan pic isn't just darkened from age rather than intentionally. That's what i'd like to know for sure.
Nice kris Ron.

David, I got this kampilan from a source totally ignorant of its origin .
This blade is original in its finish; IMO any staining would be from age or use only .

I did see a few years ago. Kala's the enforcer. No dropping in on someone, no shoulder hopping, Pipes too dangerous. Gotta respect.

The middle sundang with the sharp luks that Ron showed in his pic; even polished you could easily see the structure within that blade .

'He so haole .......'
