How long is the blade, how long overall?
Looking at the two keris, side by side, I'd probably call this a patrem, provided the other keris is normal.
If requested a m'ranggi will use whatever means & joints work best to make something functional.
Have I ever seen precisely the same joint as this?
I don't know, I've seen very many & I do not remember them all, but if the m'ranggi decided that joint would work best, that's what he would use.
