Hello Amuk,
7 luks, the dapur is outside Central Java pakem, flaring ganja, pamor Buntel Mayit/ Mayat, it seems to have some age, from East Java/ Madura? Other opinions will be welcome

Best regards

There is not really a lot that can be said from this photograph, now is there?
I agree that it is Buntel Mayat, i agree that the workmanship is on the lower end of the scale. I wouldn't even begin to go any further based on this image. Even when i shopped it up a bit to reveal a bit more detail i still wouldn't comment too much more.
What is it you really want to know about this keris Amuk? Direct questions usually lead to direct answers...

Yeah, I agree with David, the only question in my mind about this blade is whether it has some age (traces of wear and pits on the core) or was artificially aged.
Regards
