Keris blade for identification...discussion
Hi all, the keris blade looks like a Patani Carita blade with an unusual sogokan
looking fullers. It has the sogokan depan only but can the other fuller attribute this to a Carita? Can anyone assist in identifying the blade type, dapur and any other details would be appreciated. Keris Patani? The profile of the base area... A closer shot of the base area... |

Hi Shahrial. I thought that with the carita the fullers extended the length of the blade, though i must admit i know less about peninsula blades than i'd like. Nice keris though, i like it. Is there any dress?

no dress, no carita...?
David, the standard carita does extend to the end of the hilt, afaik.
I'm just suggesting, I'm not sure myself. No dress for this one. It came with a balinese bebondolan hilt. That's about it. I don't think it Balinese, though. |

This blade is probably Kelantanese, from the style of the greneng and the fullers, which are highly unusual.
