Tajong for viewing pleasure and comments !

Some of the surface of the tajong suggests that it may have been sanded down or polished to a certain extent. Too flat in some places. May have been an attempt to remove the old sapan.

Nice hilt, I don't think that it is inspired.
Can we see the complete blade please?

Hello Mykeris,

thank's for the pictures of the blade. The blade is curved but not one luk, my two cents worth estimation.

Regards,

sajen

Thanks and sincerely noted. Another sample with blade 41 cm.

Yes, I see why you call the first one "1 luk" but normally the lowest luk is three.

Yep, it's curved, but I don't know whether people up north really do consider this 1 luk. More likely straight. I had a keris from this region with a similar curved profile. Actually, come to think of it, the profile at the base of the blade is quite similar.

Notice the temper mark, which is a chevron shape. It has a name, which I cannot recall now.
