I also own a keris picit. Now you mentioned it, mine is also straight bladed.
The finger prints on mine keris is like the empu pinched the red hot blade with one hand. Four fingers on one side and the thumb on the other side.
I've read that the meaning behind these markings is, the projection of the Isi into the keris by the empu. The empu who is able to perform this action is as Pakana said high skilled with paranormal abilities.
