Groneman describes in minute detail the forging of a number of blades and the manufacture of the other parts of the kris, and then places it all in a broader historical and cultural framework. His articles were inspired by a strong interest in how Javanese krisses were forged, but also by his great concern that this craft that he admired so much, was at risk of bleeding to death and disappearing from the face of the earth.
