This gorgeous weapon is hand-forged from a reclaimed high-carbon steel spade chisel. The waved edges sinuously taper to a wicked point. The base of the blade is carved with deep flutes, and a traditional elephant's head is forged in as well. The blade is polished and blued to a deep glossy black.The guard is carved from solid copper and richly heat-patinaed. 

The grip is turned from a branch of ironwood, with inlayed bands of twisted copper wire, as is the small turned ivory section. A small copper ferrule fits against the guard. The pommel is native Arizona copper, almost barnacle-like in form, and the wood is similarly textured to blend the two forms together. The ironwood is finished with several coats of clear lacquer.

The traditional keris sheath is hand-carved from two blocks of solid birds-eye maple. The blocks are split and hollowed out to exactly fit the blade and re-assembled using a mortise and tenon joint. Two brass and copper mosaic pins and twisted copper wire complement the beautifully grained wood. The sheath is finished with several coats of hand-rubbed clear lacquer.

The beautiful display stand has a base of wood burl. A forged copper bamboo upright supports the sheath and knife 

The knife is 22” long overall and the blade is 16’’ long and 3” wide. It stands 24” tall on the base.
