For one, ca 60% of antique keris are straight, ca 40% have waves, from one wave onwards.</p><p>Pamor is not just a damascene pattern, it is an outward expression of the spiritual content.</p><p><br /></p><p>A true keris is so much more than a blade. The most important thing is the spiritual content and spiritual and cultural connotation.</p><p>The keris (blade) works together with the owner, and is aided by the materials and designs of the &#039;dress&#039;: The sheath, the hilt, the hilt ring, and the wrapping of the peksi or tang. Every component has a spiritual content, especially the keris, sheath, and hilt. A specific hilt made from a specific kind of wood and a matching intention can even calm a fiesty blade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
