Keris blade for identification...discussion

Alam Shah · 28th March 2006, 03:23 AM

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?

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?

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.

After comparing with one of Dave's keris (from Rangsang Rias II 2006, Keris Competition Winner), it's more or less confirmed to be a Kelantanese keris. Thanks for the assistance.

Will post an update once the fitting had been completed.
