This may be because this is a relatively recent keris, perhaps newer than the other examples you have.

Thank you very much fro the information.
I find my self make mistake mentioning dapur and tangguh , I really must learn more about the basic vocabulary.
this might be newer than my previous collection.
I mentioned kinatah keris in my threat because I found many keris sellers show to me their kinatah keris. some with old keris, and some new keris. some keris even have gold and diamond together, more expensive ofcourse.

So I wonder why would we add kinatah to our keris, is it for the great look or raising the price. as I know, the old king of mataram gave gold kinatah singo barong to every soldier when they concour other kingdom...that is old story about kinatah.

I like my new keris for its pamor...very bright and active. eye catching .
my other kerises do not show such pamor, maybe I should have them warangan. but I really afraid with the poison contain in warangan(arsenic) that been used in java. maybe I should just clean the rust in my keris with out warangan.

Lol, I've cleaned plenty of blades, without any problem. With proper care and common-sense approach, there's nothing to be afraid of.
If you are still afraid, you could get someone to do it for you.
