Restoration Old Rusty KRIS Dagger

- Hello folks! Today I have a unique thing, for the first time on the channel. Restoration of Chris Dagger. This blade is popular and common in Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia. I got it from France through my friend. I don't know how this dagger got to France. I know one thing that the seller said that this blade is from the 19th century. Well, let's start the restoration.
This is the first time I have held such a dagger in my hands. I tried to make the whole restoration process neat due to the fact that the item is rare and I am not familiar with it.
First of all, I took the dagger apart. I cleaned the blade and the brass part from the scabbard with a sandblaster. I immersed the beautiful wooden handle (by the way, without a single damage) in oil for one week.
I sanded and polished the brass part of the scabbard. I closed the hole that was at the end with cold welding, then sanded it with sandpaper and painted it with gold paint.
I sanded the wooden scabbard, plastered it with glue and wood dust. Then I covered the sheath with putty for wood and then painted the sheath. Then, using sandpaper, I leveled the layer and covered it with another layer of paint.
After light polishing, I etched the dagger with iron chloride so that the drawing (most likely Damascus) would become clearer and more pronounced.
I connected the hilt and the dagger with cold welding. Why? Because epoxy and resin, etc. could stain such an original beautiful handle.
As usual, I conducted an easy test and now I have a unique thing! Thank you for your attention!
Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!

The kerisses are a national weapon of Indonesia. Nowadays they have lost their function in combat, but they stay a sign of status, an element of ceremonial dress, as well as they are considered talismans. One believes that there are magical powers in the keris blade, specifically in the bright pattern (pamor) containing nickel, visible on a dark background of the blade.
The process of making a keris (in the old times kept in professional secrecy) consists in repeatedly forging pure iron with an alloy iron-nickel. The bar made of these two materials is folded in half and forged to its original length. Another important way is to twist the bar in a spiral. These treatments result in a planned pattern, consisting of rings, lines, geometric, and symbolic forms - considered to be symbolic. The final pattern is somewhat reminiscent of Damascus steel, on the surface of which bright lines are visible. In addition to the pamor pattern, the form of the blade is also prescribed, including certain spikes, ribs and depressions. Wavy blades require
an additional work: they must be unhardened stretch by stretch and every fragment must be formed in a shape of an arch. Wavy blades are far less frequent than straight ones, so they are more desired by collectors.
Beliefs in the magical powers of the keris derive from animism, nonetheless they persist in Indonesia in spite of the fact it is an Islamic country for half a thousand years. Although in the last century the popularity of side arms has greatly diminished and the keris-smith profession has almost disappeared, the Indonesian state, independent since 1945, protects the art of forging kerisses as a national cultural heritage.
The weapon shown here is an example of decorative keris from the island of Bali,
a Hindu enclave in Indonesia. On the blade is visible a popular pamor pattern type called beras wutah - “strewn rice” - here concentrated close to the main axis. Also
a figure of the snake/dragon is wrought, one of the most important Indonesia’s symbolic animals, associated with the cosmos and royalty.
all abut that dagger.
Thanks. I never knew about any of that.
Claim jgn tidak claimmm.. semua indogg punyaaa
Great thank you..
thanks!
If i am not mistaken, based on the scabbard, the Keris is from Central Java, around Solo/Surakarta
Прекрасный крис! Завидую. Спасибо что бережно отнеслись к реставрации. Однако вы совершили небольшую ошибку - не в ту сторону поставили рукоять. Изгиб рукоятки должен быть в противоположную сторону от длинной части "гарды", это сделано для защиты тыльной стороны ладони, либо перпендикулярно поскости клинка для особого хвата. Кусок ткани в рукояти был неспроста, клинок на рукоять обычно не клеили, а сажали на тканевую обмотку или конский волос. Клинок действитеьно изготовен по дамасской технологии. Дамасский узор на крисе называется "памор". Фруктовый запах скорее всего остался как поседствие традиции купать крис в смеси сока лайма и благовоний, оттуда же ржавчина и съеденый корозией хвостовик.
Привет! Большое спасибо за внимание и инофрмацию!
А разве клинок не должен вращаться на рукояти, или это не у всех?
А вот и экзотика подъехала! Чего не ожидал увидеть, так это крис. Браво, Александр!
Я сам не ожидал!))
Жаль, рукоять не в ту сторону поставлена
Such am amazing work 👍 i'm from Indonesia, that's beautifull keris dagger. If you smell kind of aromatic from the keris or the sheet, it may come from fragrance oil (cendana oil, gaharu oil, melati/jasmine oil, etc), cause we ussually use that kind of oil for maintenance the blade and the sheet. The sheet is Yogyakartan style called "gayaman", and the shape of the blade is called "sabuk inten". The damascus pattren is ussually forged from iron and iron meteorit, but for cheaper keris we can subtitute iron meteorit with nickel.
The pattern of damascus have their spesific name and philosophy, i think maybe your keris damascus patern is called "pedaringan kebak". The shape "sabuk inten" is also have spesific philosophy, i think that's for welfare. We ussually use old coconut water to derusting the blade, and lime water plus arsenic powder to etching the blade. I think it's more better if the handle isn't glued, but we can used the thread or cloth to fit the handle.
Last, thanks for caring our ancestor heirloom, may goodness be upon u always 🙏
Thanks from Indonesia.
Nicely described. These Kris are considered to have sacred or supernatural power and these days are part of ceremonial dress.
Отличная работа ,за субтитры спасибо!!!
Спасибо!
Крис нож редкость. За субтитры отдельный респект. Их так не хватало.
Спасибо за внимание. Да первый раз попался, кстати а субтитры давненько уже включены)
@@ScrewsAndTools в прошлом видео обратил внимание что они появились. Перед этим долго не было.
В любом случае спасибо и удачи.
Ой не , что вы. ОНи уже более полугода точно. Спасибо и вам@@МузыкальныйЁжикСаня
Wow!!! 😮 you’re true rogue master
New video! Surprisingly, this has not happened yet. thank you!🎉
Привет.Ножны необычные. Реставрация бережная. Мне понравилась работа Алекс.
I'm from Java, Indonesia thank you, because you have repaired the Keris which is a traditional weapon and also a legacy from our ancestors
Hello! Thank you for feedback!
Great restoration of such a beautiful dagger! I really appreciate that you were able to preserve all of the original material.
Thank you!!
@@ScrewsAndTools you installed the handle incorrectly, try checking the picture of the keris and see how the handle should be installed...
im sorry, my english is bad... 🙏🙏🙏
Супер!!!! Отличная Работа 😊
Nice restore, my friend! Truly enjoyed "Behind the Scenes." Beep! Beep! 👍
A kris. Tipical from Malaysia, Indonesia, Phillipines, etc. as you say. If it comes from Phillipines in XIXth century you can say is a "Spanish piece" because Phllipines was a Spanish province in that time. Beautiful piece from a very interesting culture. You made an amazing work as usual. Congratulations.
Thank you!
Sepertinya itu milik Cirebon❤
Itu bukan senjata. Itu pusaka. Sebuah tanda atau predikat bagi seseorang. Biasanya berisi kode ajaran yang harus dijaga.
@@RatuRani1 thanks for teaching. Didn't know about that.

Hello! Thank you so much and welcome!
Salam budaya keris yang sangat luar biasa
Such a beautiful dagger! Your work is amazing.
Thank you!!
Красота 👍
Przepiękne jest to bardzo stary miecz odrestaurowany pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍👍👍👍
Many years ago I read abook about bladed weapons { I don,t rememeber the title} and I believe this to be a traditional dagger from Java called a Kris. They are proffessed to have magical properties, I'm no expert by any means. Truly a beautiful and unusual dagger. Beautiful restoration!
Yes, they are said to have magical properties, and hilariously that's the reason the blade is SO thin. Because for semi-religious reasons, to keep said properties, they were suppossed to be thoroughly cleaned from rust every year in a ritualized process that involved diping the blade in acid (vinegar, but still) and sanding it thoroughly, several times. Do this yearly, and you wind up with extremely _thin_ blades after a few decades...
Thank you!
Great Job on the Restoration. It came Beautiful. I was really surprised how it went through the Bottle so easily. Thanks for the Video.
Thanks!
@@ScrewsAndTools you installed the handle incorrectly, try checking the picture of the keris and see how the handle should be installed..
im sorry, my english is bad.. thanks... 🙏🙏🙏
Yes bro i agree wit u...Usualy we dont glue the handle....
Blacksmith here.
Yes the blade is Patternwelded (Damascus). As it seamingly is common for these kinds of daggers.
Beautiful as always!
Love the outtakes! Always wondered about the purpose of the wavey blade on these. Glad you could save the handle on it!
Thank you!
Excellent work! By both the original craftsman and restorer!
Thank you!
Such a beautiful transformation 👍👍
it's a amazing work! The craftsman who made this knife will also be happy. 😊
Gayaman from Java Indonesia..🙏🇮🇩
Not only different but beatiful 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks, sir. That is iconic Indonesia self defense. I think, that keris more than 200 year old. Thank You very much 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you!! Wow it's so old?
The only Channel that really make RESTORATIONS, the majority of them just grab old things and remove all the essence and natural beauty of the objects, great work and beautiful restoration!!!
Hello and thank you so much for feedback!
As always great job
Thank you so much!
@@ScrewsAndTools you are very welcome
It's a Kris sword (dagger) from Southeast Asia possibly Javanese. It's a stabbing sword and you did an amazing job restoring it!!! Beep Beep!😃😃😃
Thanks a lot!
cool blade, that s an old one, and no it isn't "damascus" and what people call Damascus now generally isn't, it is however a really nice example of a pattern welded blade made of several layers of steel in the traditional manor of those blades and you did a great job of preserving the blade for the future
Thanks!!
Вещь! Шикарный кинжал! Финал улыбнул)))
))Спасибо!
I wouldn’t want to go up against someone with that sword/dagger there is something about this one that makes my blood run cold. But as always you did a great job it looks amazing. Love watching your videos roadrunner 😊😊😊👍👍👍♥️

Very nicely done my friend. Those are beautiful daggers. Just made for stabbing. The handle carving was really nice.

Very interesting dagger i am sure that bent blade would have inflicted major damage on its victim, lovely to see it restored and now just cutting plastic bottles
Супер! Успехов тебе!!!!
Спасибо!

Мне сказать нечего Алекс. Вы даёте старым, ржавым вещам вторую жизнь. Огромное спасибо за ваши видосы. Снимаю шляпу и лайкаю.Би бип.
Благодарю!
What a beautiful and unique old dagger and scabbard, you did a great job on the restoration. Enjoyed the behind the scenes clip at the end, haha!!
Thank you!)))
Another beautiful job. Almost looks like it was used as a sacrificial instrument😳
Two comments because it helps you with the algorithm, that's why (also, my first comment was already long-winded enough)
The extreme thinness of the blade is common in old kriss that were actually used (instead of being display pieces) because tradition dictates they are to be cleaned of rust yearly, and traditional techniques were... let's say "a bit agressive". Which means that this piece likely started its days as a well-cared-for, actually used, piece before being turned into a neglected decorative object. Thanks again for providing it with its much-deserved restoration.
Hello! Thank you for information and attention!
The keris is a traditional weapon originating from Indonesia 🇮🇩

Алекс, интересный экземпляр попался на реставрацию, работа хорошая, чем рукоять забивали когда её ставили на клинок? За субтитры отдельное спасибо. Успехов
Благодарю!

Once again, thank you for sharing your amazing skill with us once again. From your Aussie friend. Graeme
This is a traditional weapon during the ancient kingdoms in my country, thank you for restoring it.
If you smell the fruit, it's because the Keris is cleaned or washed with flower essence at a certain time.
Thank you!
Хорошая работа👍 Интересно где ты такие вещи находишь? Это просто удивительно.

What a beautiful item. What a positive master!
Thank you)
Strangely beautiful excellent work.
That thing is sharp, I'm impressed!
What a beautiful dagger. Excellent restoration! Side note: In the famous novel (and movies) "Dune", the knives that the Fremen desert people use are called "crysknives". I didn't know that Frank Herbert borrowed the term for the books until now.
Thank you for your attention and information
Amazing bro. From indonesia🇲🇨👏👍👍👍👍👍

I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you so much!!
This keris elevent luct @ 11 bend....is very rare to have like this
Filipino here. My good sir you put the handle on upside down.
Thanks!
Good job bro
Its javanese kris, world intangible cultural heritage (Unesco) , in indonesia culturethey usualy soak with coconut water until nothing rust in all blades (somtimes need many days) injavanese tratition clean up rust with sand paper, grinding, etc is not allowed because it may broke patern , then soak in "warang stone" powder to bring out a beautiful patern, handle is backward, but its still a good restoration ❤👍🏻👍🏻
"Small test" - totally misses... twice. Are you sure we aren't brothers? That's something I would do. 🤣 Great job on the restoration. Alec Steele made one last year, I think. His channel may have more information.
)))) Thanks
Amazing Restoration 👍🏻👍🏽👍
Очень круто. Это топ уровень уже👍👍👍👍
Nice job, bud. 1 minor adjustment. Most keris, especially the smaller or thinner ones, have their handle 90° to how you had set it.
When pointing the keris at someone, you hold it similar to a handgun, and the blade is horizontal. Opposite to conventional bladed weapons.
In the olden days, they used to coat the blades with poison. As if the ugly entry wound is not bad enough. After you thrust it into the body, you twist it slightly as you pull it back out. Back then, people very rarely survive a keris wound.
Thank you for feedback and infromation!
Ого-го красотень какая!🥺
Very well done, beautiful. I think the hole you filled in in the brass was a weep hole it's to let out any water that may get in so the wood doesn't stay wet and start to mold or rot. It also helps to let out any dirt that may get in the scabbard there should also be a hole in the wood liner as well for the same reason and to keep the blade from rusting. All in all an awesome and amazing restoration. Keep up the killer work brother.
^ this, i was so sad when he closed the hole.
Красавчик! Как обычно позитивный
Спасибо за ролик! И за субтитры особенно! Успехов вам!)
Спасибо!
Keris from indonesia....
That was an awesome handle. Great work. Small tests lol
Шикарное видео от шикарного автора) Но немножко офигел от остроты этого криса, когда ты проткнул им бутылку таким образом, что она практически не текла при таком пробитии! 😳
Привет! Благодарю, да это я тоже заметил и был удивлен, почему так.
What a fantastic job on the dagger bro. That was an old looking dagger as well I'm sure it's from Thailand it looked like there was a pattern in the metal thanks for the upload BEEP BEEP
