Thanks Kai Wee,

I noticed that the horisontal V-cut also is seen on Jambi hilts.
Like on my Sekin below.
I have seen a Jambi Keris with an almost identical hilt like this in one of the antique stores in Copenhagen.

What do you think about the blade?

Why are there so few Keris classified as typical Jambi?
Did they mostly carry Keris from other regions (Bugis, Minangkabau)?
