But full kendhit like yours, some believed that's good for everybody who are searching for success (See in Bambang Harsrinuksmo's Ensiklopedi, cf "kendhit" or kendit).

You will also sometimes find "kendhit" as pamor on the gonjo.
The ensemble of this first keris is quite striking, with the matching "kendhit" on hilt and wrongko. Very nice. I would love to see better photos where the flash doesn't blow out the image.
