Ri Wader
 

During my last trip in Jawa i found this dapur. Someone may teach how is the way to make this keris ? :confused:

some other pics (mendak is not Solo but.. i like it :o )

Seems Like
 

This seems to be a solid pamor version of the motif pictured below .
The pamor on this keris has been applied over a core and has not been heavily etched . :shrug: :)

Marco, is your question about the dhapur or the pamor. The pamor looks like Blarak Ngirid without a core. I think the lack of a core is what is giving it the unusual appearance you are wondering about. Looks like a contemporary piece to me.

Oh hi Rick, looks like we were posting at the same time. :)

Hi David !! :D
Very nice dress for this dramatic blade Marco ! :)

That's pamor Ri Wader alright, it's the vertical type of pamor (pamor miring).. I like the structure, although it has no core.. imho, battle worthiness is questionable, but aesthetically pleasing.. I've had the opportunity to closely look at a few of these before, nice find.. :)

I would like to know, about this dapur, if the maker uses acid to have the ragged edges or if he uses some tools or if the edges comes .

I would like to know, about this dapur, if the maker uses acid to have the ragged edges or if he uses some tools or if the edges borns in this way during the hot work. (I suppose strong acid )

Marco, obviously the blade has been etched, but i think the raggedy edges is, as i mentioned before, due to the lack of a core to the blade more than anything else. :)

That blade looks like a medieval torturing device :eek:

Hi Marco,

nice and interesting recent keris. about your question I think that David give the answer.

Hi Marco,

Deformed blade due to mutch etching. i think
One recent keris.

I agree that this is a recent keris, but i believe that the look is intentional so one can't really call it deformed. Again, it is the lack of a core that gives it this look. :)

Not deformed, typical body structure from Ri Wader.
