Not all Javanese planar hilts have cecekan.

Hilts made for sandang walikat dress usually do not carry cecekan.

Sometimes a hilt will be made by an owner, and these do not have cecekan.

A keris made by a general carver , especially in an area that is not under karaton influence will usually not have cecekan.

Many reasons for no cecekan.
