Hi Keris fanatics...

Damar murub, a name of keris dapur normally found in central to eastern Java until Bali. However, rarely we get to see this type of keris. In books, written that this dapur is of Luk 3 and some mention to be Luk 1. How and when can we tell if it is Luk 1 or 3. And why?

Below are 2 examples of dapur Damur Murub I've seen. One with a straight body and luk at the tip, and the other has slightly curve body follow by the luk.
