BTW, the passage you quote from Solyom is completely out of context.
Nechesh,
It's clear I have mislead the passage. At begining, my understanding is about gold to relate with the power. I have to admit my English is not good , English is not my first language at home and I have tried my best to write in this forum. I have never seen before a keris sajen with kinatah work either.

Could you elaborate how does having the one-piece construction or the metal hilt enhance it talismanic value?
Alam Shah,
Sorry, I could not assist you on this. Looking on your blade with inscription, I strongly believed, it should something about talismanic (tangkal/azimat) which is something common on Malay society. Alam Shah, I believed the inscription is not taken from Quran (ayat Al Quran?).
