New addition #2 Panjang or maybe not

[David]

Another nice find. You have been fortunate indeed lately Kino!
I would call it a panjang, but it might have a different classification. It has those beautiful long fullers like your carita which is not usually a feature on the other panjangs i have seen. But the length and other features look right for a panjang. Beautiful non the less.
Again i would venture that this is a peninsula blade. Is the name panjang used in that area?

It is a keris panjang from Peninsular Malaysia.. a 'young' blade, but beautiful nevertheless. David, it should fall within the panjang classification. These type do exists. I've seen quite a number of old examples.. although perhaps you've not seen any. This form can be found in the Malay archipelago. Yes, it's still known as keris panjang.
