The Purpose of Keris Panjang

indeed, as I suspected, there was a reason set in the forging methods.

Again then the question arises on the weapon being made to be actually used as a weapon ( the fuller make the weapon lighter and the consequent risers make it more robust to hitting other blades) . If the only purpose was to create a decoration item and there is a lot of decoration content (let alone a symbolic one) in a keris with a pamor along such a long blade, why would they have gone through the forging process which is highly suited to create a weapon apt to be used in combat against another blade?
