I got some information mentioning about the keris.
Pamor : wos wutah and kulit semangka ( different pamor for each side)
tangguh : jalak ngore, yogyakarta Hamengku buwono IX ( nom noman keris )
warangka : gayaman yogya( wood unknown) the wood is very smooth
but does not smell like cendana wangi.

but I find this nom noman keris from yogya is bigger and heavier than my other javanese keris, showing more active pamor and better iron. people siad jalak ngore is a rare tangguh, but my first collection come with 3 jalak ngore kerises with same pamor ( wos wutah and kulit semangka) . I've been trying to find good sample of keris with gold ornament/kinatah, but mostly I only find those in books ( ensiklopedia keris ) . I'll keep looking, any body have a kinatah keris?? any body?
Can we make our own kinatah keris?

I'm waiting for your opinion guys.....
