As I said, some of my favourite keris would surprise you. Its all a matter of if you like it. Recognise what we have and like or dislike according to feeling. This is different to forming an opinion based upon appraisal.

What do you mean by the pijetan looks suspicious?

the pijitan looks smooth and shallow.
and also the gandik looks too smooth.
I've been watching this keris for 3 weeks before I decide to buy it.
I found the iron is fascinating, the hardness and the sound of the iron.
I never mind about the pamor and any possibility of reshaping.
Like you said, Its ok for me and I like it a lot.
I really should use my feeling on choosing a keris, then it would come to fact that I like a keris when I really sure that I like it.
not to form an opinion based upon apprisal, like you said...you're right.
an appraisal would only result on a confuseness.
I'm waiting for a segaluh keris right now, hope it will soon arrive.
and after a proper cleaning,etching and picture taking I would like to share it with you guys...
Hope it arrive today...thank you.

Thanks Ferry.
So you think this part of the blade is smoother than the rest?

Too hard to see this from pics, but in a keris like this, does it matter? I don't think it would worry me.

Segaluh have got personality. I like Segaluh, and generally speaking, they are affordable.

I must agree with your last statement.
they are affordable...
this segaluh comes as a naked keris. So I have to find a proper warangka and its handle, mendak, pendok .
this would be my first segaluh. I hope it gonna be a healthy keris.
I saw it when it was cleaned ( whole white keris ) its now being ecthed .
I barely patient waiting this segaluh.
