I also have a keris that has one rattan band. I have never considered that made it a Lombok blade, but i'm not counting that out as a possible indicator. Does anyone else have knowledge of this. As for blade polish, i have seen blades identified as Lombok both with and without a polished surface. So i think it can go either way. I can't really tell for sure, but it looks like your blade was probably polished at some point. |

From memory, Pamor Aiq Ngelek does appear in Lalu Djelegga's book, and could be a Sasak term.

Yes Gustav, it does, P.233.
I know no Basa Sasak at all, but in Balinese "ngelek" is to swallow. Aiq? not the vaguest. |

An online dictionary says, aiq means water in Sasak language.

From Bentuk Dan Gaya Keris Nusa Tenggara Barat:
Aiq Ngelek (Sasak) = Air Mengalir (BI) = Flowing Water |
