I'll go first, though ultimately these are guesses and inclinations.

I lean Java or Java-adjacent. The ron dha looks very Javanese. The beefiness and full ricikan are reminiscent of Banten to me...

Requesting ID on pamor, dhapur, classification

Hello everyone. It's been awhile. Hope you're all keeping well.

Snatched this up for a bargain at a local auction. Javanese keris it seems, in a Bali sandangan.

Hello Alan. Sooner or later I knew I'd be back here with more questions.

I have been reflecting on two keris forms - on one side the rather muscular form of old Banten or Bali keris with luk that...

Interesting Bali urangka

Hi folks, long time no post.

I saw this Bali urangka shared on the Instagram of a pande who goes by Mangmong.

Yes Milandro, forgery is rife and unfortunately there'll never be a shortage of supply.

But I don't think we can consider a blade being reworked for resale as a forgery. I suspect that it's...

Interesting blade for me to think about.

I see a very beefy blade with a blumbangan boto rubuh (but arguably square) and a short sirah cecak profile.

Perhaps naively I would have placed this...

I wasn't asked, so please excuse me for butting in, Alan. But I am interested and it's been awhile since your question has gotten a response.

Dhapurs and their names

How does a dhapur get its name?

Relatedly, is there a relationship between the name of the dhapur and the kerises physical form, or with the tuah of the dhapur?

I suspect this might differ on a...

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