Keris are regularly cleaned with coconut water or lime juice, or some other mild acid, sometimes they are polished with abrasives, this cleaning removes, dirt, corrosion & also metal.

It is losing its metal in a visible way. This Keris is like a piece of toast without crust, every time you touch it with your hand, some bread crumbs will fall off.
