naga keris with pamor miring

Hello Satsujinken,
Although you found this blade in rusty condition, it looks recent to me and quite similar to the ones which you showed us earlier. The pamor pattern may be Eri Wader or Unthuk Banyu, and the blade shape lacks elegance as the luks are uneven.
Regards

Sorry I forgot to sign my name

What do you mean by the luks are uneven ?

This sort of dhapur is rather unique, panji kuda and the luks are made that way

Although I am just a novice in the field, and although it is quite dificult to judge by the photos, I believe this is a very recent Kris.

PS: Very recent meaning made probably this year.

The high relief "pamor" or whatever it is called is the result of very modern processing... I believe.

Also about everything else looks very similar to the very recent Kerises I saw this year in Indonesia. And some of them were obviously artificially aged.

For example the metal sheath cover looks like being made of pressed & aged aluminium foil attempting to look like silver.

Despite being recent, the high-relief pamor is kind of a cool effect.

Thanks,
Leif

More miring...

I'm wondering if OP's keris has a core, or if it's just pamor material?

Hello Donny,
This daphur with luks at the base and tip only, and straight in the middle section of the blade may be unique, but it still looks odd in my eyes....
