were some keris used for assassination

Wikipedia says some Keris were made only for assassination. Does this just mean that different rituals chants and spells etc were used during the forging.
Or was there a different physical design to the knife that made it more efficient for this purpose. If so are there any references or pictures of a keris or kris used and forged specifically for assassination ?

I searched on the forum and could not find anything. Is Wikipedia correct ?
I'd like to see a keris assassination dagger. Do they really exist ? For example a keris made for a farmer would be different to a keris for a soldier right ? Is this just magical differences or are there real physical differences ?

A ninja asked me to ask this question
