Thanks for the date...i am not questioning whether Tok Chu produced other forms of keris during his lifetime. I would be surprised if he didn't. I am just wondering if it is a good idea to refer to ALL of those possible different styles as "Keris Tok Chu". Seems like it can only lead to confusion. I am also uncertain that it is possible to know with any reliability which of these forms the Pandai had a hand in developing. Given the timeline of his activity is there any surviving documentation that would show that Tok Chu was responsible for these dhapurs? Does anything like a pakem exist for this era and area?
