Another Blade for ID please.

[kai]

it feels extremely smooth to the touch comparable only to some of the Balinese blades that I have

From the pic, the blade has been smoothened out a bit; it's not in full polish though. (E.g. it doesn't seem to have the fine polish one would expect of a quality blade from Bali in original condition.)

Based on the limited but uneven pitting (several plausible causes though), the steel doesn't seem to hold up especially well, too. I'd suppose it wasn't washed enough during the initial forge work.

This blade screams kamardikan to me. Very upright/stiff posture. Especially the gonjo construction doesn't make any sense! (The thinnest, weak part around the pesi just asks for a break...)

Probably impossible to fathom any specific origin, at least based on traditional cues... I certainly wouldn't be surprised to learn this being done by a modern Madurese pande keris; OTOH, it could be from pretty much anywhere else, too, I guess.

Regards,
Kai
