Don‘t know how describe the form of the blade better than „spear-point“. Seems to be a complex forged blade with several fine layers. Total length aprox 50 cm. I like those kind of unusual blades.
Many thanks for your comments. |

Based on my limited knowledge:
Dhapur: Karna Tinandhing Pamor: Dadung Muntir Since you said the length of the blade is 50 cm then it can be considered as Corok. Cheers, |

50 cm is the total length of the kris, not the blade length.

This word "corok" is a word that seems to have entered the keris lexicon quite recently.
Does anybody know when it started to be used, and by whom? I have only ever heard it used in the sense of a stick that you use to prod somebody with --- and in one other sense that I would probably get suspended for explaining here. Does anybody know when some obviously talented individual began to use it associated with the keris? |

I’ve heard the word Corok from Jakarta Keris dealers, they use word Corok for Keris with blade length > 40cm, and Patrem for Keris with blade length < 30cm. When they started to use it and who started it, I don’t know. Cheers, |

Jakarta makes sense.
I doubt I will ever use the word associated with the keris. |
