Welcome Cicak_cobing. Given your location, have you collected many Kris blades?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kris

In Victoria we cannot own them without a permit or club/martial art affiliation, but they are very cool. I also get into Golok/Parang and am planning to study Silat with my daughter when she is old enough!

I will be interested to hear about some of the good gear in Malaysia for sure .

hi Arma..
nope, i do not own any kerises although i would love to have a few of them in the future.. the subject on keris is huge and very wide.. and until i have a sound knowledge on keris, only then will i decide on getting them.. partly i do not want to end up getting crap for a lot of money too.. :P
okay, this is something new for me: i didn't know that you can't own them without permit or martial art affiliation in vic.. i guess that applies to swords / kerambit / etc too? is this the same for other states?
that's just great on the silat idea.. i guess you can enroll with your daughter (unless she is still a toddler) at the 'silat perisai diri' of indonesia.. i believe they are quite established in oz.. however i do not have experience with that style, so i can't tell if they do offer golok lessons in australia.. do check them out tho..
