Request for comments and insights on a Keris Madura

I do not know the pamor, either in older blades or recent ones, it is interesting pattern welding.

"Kagok" is indeed a Javanese ladrang form, but it is also Madurese. The word can be ued in several ways, depending on context:- to feel awkward or disagreeable, or in speech style to be heavily accented or to be using a dialect, or for objects to be strange or extraordinary.

This is a particularly nice ladrangan wrongko, it is not a kagok wrongko style.

In this keris, only the wrongko has some age, all the other parts are current era, but all are of nice middle quality.
