Abit off-topic; but is the keris like the yemeni Jambiya? a dress item as far as I know so there will be new ones. But from what I see, those new ones look awesome! How bad it is to buy a new one?

Well in a sense yes - the keris is like the jambiya in that it is part of ceremonial dress and new ones are being made as we speak - the craft is alive and well.

Yes, like a Jambiya and possibly a bit more .

For the second part:
Not bad at all !
Best to be educated first .
