There are several possibilities for naming of this pamor. It might be lar gangsir, or kenaga ginubah, or gumbala geni, but probably most people would geneticise it---as we do with the wos wutah variations--- and call it ganggeng kanyut. If the cover was complete it would be easier.

The line down the middle of the blade is not part of the motif, it is evidence of inferior welding; that line is a weld joint, as such, in a perfectly executed weld, it should be invisible.
