Walang Sinudhuk
For all keris friend collectors
Is it possible to see a CLEAR photo (no a pen/pencil picture) of the "true" pamor Walang Sinudhuk? (I saw in internet a photo of pamor Sinudhukan but it seem a kind of gamelan pamor) From a long time I ask about this pamor. The answer always is : "Ohh.. i's very difficult to find!" Is this pamor REAL ? (OR IS A LEGEND?) |

Marco,
I have never seen pamor walang sinudhuk. But this kind of pamor is written in Ensiklopedi Budaya Nasional. It is difficult to say either legend or not. I have a good story, according shape "umyang". I found several umyangs in traditional market "Beringharjo". Definitely, all of Umyang there were modifications. And someday, I attended pametri widji gathering (usually this gathering is held on Sunday, the third week). At that time, the gathering was a little bit more special because of celebrating its anniversary. To me, one of guests brought a very special keris. Its shape was umyang, real umyang. Actually, for other person, there was no suprise. It's wellknown that there's a real umyang in the city. It belongs to that guest. After that, for me, umyang is not merely a legend. Joke! If you want to get/buy a Keris which has pamor walang sinudhuk. Just come to "a traditional market" and say what you want to at any price. One month later, go there and you will find it as you said. But, imho, just look at and dont ever buy it. Even if you search "pamor apollo" for 100 million rupiahs, it will be there soon, perhaps more than one. |

We have had this topic on the Forum before, but the pictures have been dropped from the archives. Battara put the photos up so he may still have them and put them up again. Or maybe he knows who has the piece now and that person can put them up. If I remember correctly this was a very good representation of that pamor. http://www.vikingsword.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000533.html If you have a copy of Tammens “De Kris 2” there is a good illustration on page 156. |

No Jeff
Battara's example was much better that that one. It was almost as distinct as the drawing in Tammen's book. |

I may be getting a bit old, but I just leafed through "Keris Jawa" and did not see a sample of the pamor under discussion. The illustration in Tammens is: |

To continue (I can't figure out how to continue in the same post after adding the illustration), the photograph that Battara placed was a picture of a blade that he has held in his hand that was almost a dead ringer of this illustration. That is if I remember it correctly. Battara where are you?? I have never seen a blade with this pamor. |
