Firstly do all picit keris have straight blades and if so why?
Secondly I have never seen a keris which has high quality pamor/dapur and was also a picit keris, usually picit keris are not the most highly crafted of keris.
Could this phenomena be caused by uneven heating/cooling of the blade and have nothing to do with fingerprints, all the picit keris I have seen had relatively thick and wide blades.
Thirdly if you were an empu and you intended on empowering a blade, a time consuming process would you not also insure that the craftsmanship was also of a very high level?
