As for the discolouration, this is most probably surface rust/oxodation. Of all the blades I cleaned this happened most rapidly to my bugis keris.

Sampurasun!

Are these part of your private collection or can they be viewed publicly?

I'm very intrigued by no. 3 - I've not seen this kind of handle before. Might you have other examples?

There is an "aggressiveness" to this blade that I can't quite place. Actually it makes me feel kind of uneasy.

As for the grainy-ness of the surface, I recall reading somewhere on this forum that...

Nice beefy blade, though almost certainly post 1945. I do like the Madura style ladrang wrongkos.
