keris for comment

[A. G. Maisey]

Pengging is a very, very scarce tangguh, not many people would ever have seen a keris of Pengging tangguh.

Yes, the luk in a Pengging keris are very steep, deep luk, but they are also very different to the luk in all other keris.

Personally, I cannot agree that the luk form of this keris is anything like the luk form of a Pengging keris.

I think perhaps that ganja kelap lintah might be a little closer to the mark?

One of the major distinguishing features of the Pengging style of keris is that it has a very long wadidang with a very deep curve, this results in a very long gulu meled. The blade cross section is rounded like rotan, the blumbangan is boto rubu.

I'm sorry, but to me, this keris does not even remotely resemble a Pengging keris.
