And an interesting older thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002097.html

There are old teachings which state that some keris were made out of a mixture of metals from 7 to 16 metals. I believe the teaching behind such statements have deeper meanings and not to be taken literally. I do however believe that there are some very special keris that indeed are made from an interesting and unusual alloy, specifically the material used to make the pamor.

The link to that yellow colour keris is interesting, the pitting reminds me of the same material as thogchag are made from. Basically a bronze to which ground up meteorite is added resulting in a pitted surface pattern.
