I would like to know, about this dapur, if the maker uses acid to have the ragged edges or if he uses some tools or if the edges borns in this way during the hot work. (I suppose strong acid )

Marco, obviously the blade has been etched, but i think the raggedy edges is, as i mentioned before, due to the lack of a core to the blade more than anything else.

That blade looks like a medieval torturing device

I agree that this is a recent keris, but i believe that the look is intentional so one can't really call it deformed. Again, it is the lack of a core that gives it this look.

Not deformed, typical body structure from Ri Wader.
