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.

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.
