Welcome to the forum Bagus.
hmmm….i am afraid that your photos are not very revealing, but it does look like a contemporary creation to me. How long is the blade (without the pesi/tang)? Is the pesi round or more flat?

A Balinese Bowie ? ;)

Yeah, i'm not even sure i would technically call this a keris. Is there a gonjo, either separate or iras. I cannot tell from the photos. :shrug:

Hi,
Not a keris and it falls along the javanese sword class.. 'tempius', 'pedang tusuk' (stabbing sword), with a contemporary flair. :)
The clip point does make it bowie like.. ;)

thanks david, thats way ... this blade make mee little bit confiuse... last week i talk to my friend which is empu keris from madura, he say this blade is original, i make a warangka at the moment, after that gonna wash with warangan, soo we'll know about the steel.. thanks buddy

I am afraid i don't know what you mean here exactly. Original how or to what? Also curious about my earlier question. Is the pesi (tang) flat or round?

ohh the peai is round david,

Thanks Bagus…
