I admit, not all my keris can do it. What is your take on it? Is it really "armour piercing" or a just a case of good tempering and manufacture?

 To me it is obviously a coin-chipping Keris!  
Without being too knowledgeable on the subject, I believe it is pure marketing BS. Something like the trick with the standing Keris.
PS: And I suspect that a guy who is doing this to sell a Keris, is selling nothing but crap...
