			In normal-sized kerises, kapit construction could have been used to re-use the remnants of an old blade (or to repair it). In the cases of these keris panjang, I'm not quite sure really... Maybe has something to do with the length of the blade such that it is easier to add the sor-soran area as a separate chunk of metal. I really don't know.
