Alan, can i assume you were addressing the wedung in Marius' post #3?

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.

Here is my favourite laminated knife, not at all flamboyant, no fancy pattern welding, but over 4000 nominal layers of material, and it has been hardened & the temper drawn.

This is one gunong (that was stolen years ago) that I had with a very tight lamination:

Here is a Sulu kris I have, early, with an interesting double twist core.

My georgian Kindjal from the early 19th century is my favourite.

Just got this piece from the auction of David’s collection. I am honored to be its keeper for a time.

Hi David,

Poleng motif or Kotak-kotak motif can be translated to Checkered motif.

I believe it is easier to remember if we know the meaning of the pamor's name.

Cheers,
