I do agree it's a Pandai Saras blade form. A Northern Malay Peninsular keris. Beautiful blade. Love the slight curve. Congrats.. What's the length of the blade?

Thank you both! My mistake, sorry. Normally I should know that's a pandai saras keris.
 Blade is 35 cm long without pesi. Regards, Detlef |

Please can you explain "Tikor"? "Gajah" means elephant, correct? And which sarung is correct for this blade? And, sorry, I don't think that I will get soon tired with it!  Regards, Detlef |

Hi Sajen,
Gajah means elephant Tikor means big or great gajah tikor is a keris terminology in Pattani and Northern Peninsula describing a keris lurus with curvy profile such as yours. Gajah Tikor is to describe the matured elephant tusk like profile - big and curvy |

I can find reference to Gajah Tikor in The Malay Keris by Wooley in the Glossary of Keris Terms as follows and attributed to Skeat:
Gajah Tikor (? Likor): a keris with one wave di-pangkal (Skeat) |
