One of my favorite gunongs, previously posted here, has an impressive laminated blade.

One of my favorites is a Georgian laminated qama.
Another of my favourites is a small yataghan in Turkish ribbon. Last but not least is a Balinese wedhung (I cleaned and re-etched the blade, so now looks much better than in the photos). Last edited by mariusgmioc; 3rd June 2021 at 08:00 AM. |

Excellent laminations sir- the first two are great, but the wedhung is jaw-dropping, it's my first time to see one etched like that!

Here's some better pics, along with another nicely laminated gunong.
Thanks, Leif |

This wedung pamor motif is a descendent of Dietrich Drescher's "Pamor Poleng", designed by Mr. Drescher and executed by Empu Pauzan Pusposukadgo of Surakarta.
This motif was later copied by the pandes of Aeng Tong-tong near Sumenep in Madura. I have a Madura keris bethok with the poleng motif. |

Yes David
Here is a photo of a picture in a pamphlet of the original by Empu Pauzan. This keris was presented to a Government Minister, Bapak Mengko Polkam H. Surono. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=24665 |
