Second new keris

Dear all. Again I‘m not sure and experienced enough to classify this keris. The blade seems to be newer forged. Very well forged from my opinion ( as a bladesmith on my own ) Many thanks for your help.

Yep newer, so I guess we can call it kemardikan. The dhapur is tilam upih.

Interesting profile on this one. It's got that claw-like Bugis sepukal silhouette. Edit: or maybe it's just the photo giving that impression.

I am with you Jaga, the blumbangan is mboto adeg (which place it Central Java), however the overall impression (at least from the photo) makes it outside of Java.
