The Birth of an Indonesian Keris ~ The making of a Legendary Art Piece

Hello, my name is Floris Postmes and I am a 18 year old knifemaker from the Netherlands.
In this video you see me make my interpretation of an Indonesian Keris. This is by NO MEANS A TRADITIONAL PIECE! This was by far one of my favourite projects. I tried to put all my love into this piece. Being able to experience the process and sharing this with you feels great. Sharing this video really helps me to make my dream come true; becoming a full-time bladesmith. Please do so if you liked what you saw.
Thank you guys so much!
This piece is not for sale, do you want me to make you something similar or a completely different knife? This is possible, just send an email to:

Karya yg bagus👍 terima kasih sudah mau menghargai karya leluhur kami terutama "KERIS" dg membuatnya langsung, keris sekarang sudah bukan milik org jawa atau indonesia lagi, karena keris sekarang sudah menjadi milik dunia, siapapun boleh mempunyai /memiliki dan membuat keris seperti yg dilakukan Di video ini. Soal kesempurnaan syarat keris memang yg di buat ini belum memenuhi pak dari pada "KERIS" Sebab keris itu meliputi bilah, gonjo, peksi, deder, dan warangka. Yg anda buat itu blm ada gonjonya sehingga kalau di lihat seperti masih maaf (telanjang). Namun karya anda sungguh hebat, teruslah belajar untuk menyempurnakan dalam membuat "KERIS". Terima kasih. teman. Salam Rahayu🙏🙏

Translation From Mr. Kas Mudi's comment : What a Greate piece of art, Thank you for appreciating our ancestors art, especially Keris by crafting it directly. Nowadays Keris don't belong to Javanese nor Indonesian anymore, because now Keris has become World's owning, anyone can have / own and craft Keris like you did on this video. About the perfection requirement of this Keris you made, admittedly still have not fulfill the " Pak " of the Keris, because Keris is consist of Bilah (the blade / the bar), Gonjo (the low part of the blade) , Peksi (the bottom part of the blade, after gonjo / the Keris stalk / the part that goes into the wooden handle or ivory handle), Deder (this one i still can't fine the meaning yet) & Warangka (scabbard / the blades case or cover). The one you make is still lack of the Gonjo, so if we saw it still looked naked (Sorry). But still your piece of art is Greate.. Keep practicing in crafting Keris, Thank You.. and Be Blessed.

Indonesian and a teacher here, and it's a shame that I have to turn to outside sources to show my students how one of our cultural legacies have to be crafted. There is a massive overflow of mythos and taboos surrounding this item that they eventually alienated younger generations from them. It's sad, and it's such a relief for me to see at least someone, anyone, can break the mythos and show it as a true irreplaceable cultural heritage that it is. Thank you for this!

[@sugaboss]

there is a more complete and kris making according to pakem by empu and it is explained clearly by a lecturer who is also an empu. Find the documentary of keris by unesco.

[@Wolvenworks]

There’s also the issue of there being practically no blacksmiths around to even teach us blacksmithing, much less to make a keris.

Tak ikut adat pun tak ada masalah, tapi kena tepat cara menempanya. Aku respect kat orang Indonesia sebab berjaya kekalkan budaya empu ni.

Hi Guys. Im here just translating a comment that I think Floris need to read. Please thumb up so it Floris can reach it! From Kas Mudi, 1 week ago, 809 Likes (as this post created.) What an art! Thankyou for appreciating the work of out ancestors especially “Keris” by made it on your own. Nowadays, Keris no longer belongs to Java or Indonesian anymore, because keris has become the WORLD heritage, anyone can having or making Keris just like on this video. About the perfection of “requirements” actually (on the making keris in this video) NOT YET. fulfilled the “pak” (morphology) so can be called as Keris. Because Keris consists of “Bilah”, “Gonjo”, “Peksi”, “Deder”, and “Warangka” (you guys just google keris morphology for more information if you interested!) The one that you made (keris on this video) didnt have “Gonjo” so if we look at it, it’s like (sorry) “Nude”. But your art’s just AMAZING. Keep learning to/for perfecting the making of Keris. Thankyou, Friend. Salam Rahayu.

Every bent on keris has their own name based on their bent or pattern,and the bent are normally in odd number such as 1,3,5,7,9,11,13 In Indonesian eyes your keris has 6 bent And one part has missing called gonjo And the ring(mendak) should sticks tightly on gonjo Nice job 👍

Mr. Floris Postmes, I've finished watching Damascus knife-making. I've just want to click another Damascus knife-making video when I saw your very interesting tittle. One Young Dutch mastering an ancient keris making techniques? What a amazing! You are a young Dutch but mastering the technique of making heirloom keris which is a legacy from our ancestors. It's really a hard thing to be able making one keris masterpiece like in this film and only a few of us have that ability. I don't know how much time you have spent studying it. It takes years to master the technique and it can take months to build. As an Indonesian, I salute you for taking the time to learn, and dedicating yourself researching knowledge of the heritage of Indonesia's ancient cultures. I'm also shy to you. You have had what I should've had. With your work, the ancient culture of our heritage will be lifted and globalized. Thank you very much for everything. Wish you success in everything.

Hi I am from Indonesia, I am originally from Java. In Java, making a keris with a standard must pass several requirements to complete the keris, by fasting and preparing offerings,So that the keris has magical power. After passing these few conditions, the forger will begin to forge iron which is given several mixtures, if in the days of the kris kingdom it was given chunks Meteorite. But now it uses nickel and other "materials. The keris blade protector called" warangka "is made of wood and wrapped in iron. The types of pamor are also many and good. In my opinion, keris has advantages in making pamor, warangka and its use . And all those manuals don't use any machines, the forge must also be from the descendants of the forger, that's an optional condition..salam rahayu salam budaya

For me as Indonesian, I would like to call you: "Mpu Londo" (Mpu = Keris maker, Londo = Netherland).

[@DUYUCImusic]

Londo is dutch bro, not netherland

[@wancoet]

@@DUYUCImusic the root of Landa or Walanda is from the word Holland one of the Netherland's province, there are other provinces such as Friesland, Zeeland, etc., yet you are right since they preferred to be called as dutch.

The pamor (damascus) of your keris is awesome. The pattern is incredible and beautiful. The energy of the keris is very good and positive. I think its because you really focus and pour your good will in the process. Although you do not put ganja in the kris but it's oke for me, because historically the ancient keris made before 10 Century also have no ganja either. So the pattern and luk (curve) is modern keris but the basic concept of the main blade itself look like early keris (ancient one). Great!!! 👍👍👍

[@zeeceefourovksk2837]

Beautiful keris. The texture on it, the blade curves and the hilt are perfect. Added with the incenses surrounding it, you really know that keris are very much bath into mysticism by some owners of them in the past and even until now. It is very interesting that a 18yo done a marvellous job in crafting real steel blades from own hand. At that age, your peers are more concern of making stupid meme tiktok videos. But you are different. Keep doing this. Hopefully you will be a well known blade craftsman and earn a comfortable living out of it. Such skillful youngsters who are skill with their hands are very hard to come by in 2022 and beyond.

[@pryabimantara5371]

My god, Floris... That's one hell of a craftsmanship. I especially love the pamor (patterns) on the blade. Also, your Keris would have a special place in Javanese culture. You see, a blade with 5 curves signifies that it was intended to be wielded by someone who commands great respect in society; namely, kings or those with royal blood. Those 5 curves signifies power and noble character... and with that craftsmanship, it is more than befitting for a nobleman to wear at the small of his back. Great job!
