Hello everybody,

I will appreciate any help I can get to categorise the blade below w.r.t. dapur, pamor etc.

Thank you very much.

Looks like one of the standing pamors (adeg) though there may be a more specific name for this one. The dapor may be brojol. I can't tell in the photo if there is a tikel alis nor not. Others will probably be more helpful.

Thank you for your help. The pamor appears to be different on each side.
I have posted more pictures. Hope they help.

Regards.

It looks like the same pamor adeg on both sides to me...

Hello David,

O.K. I'll bow to your experience. Now, assuming the pamor is the same Adeg, which is it, Adeg Iras or Adeg Wengkon?
Also, can you tell me where the blade is from?
Thank you.

Regards.

That's a lot to ask from a picture mate.

Also .........
Let's stick to English; okay ?

Not much to bow to here i'm afraid.

If i knew what specific pamor adeg it was i would have stated it originally, but given that pamor wengkon forms a border around the very edge of the blade i don't think this would be called adeg wengkon. Hard to tell from the photos. There are many variations on pamor adeg and frankly i am not familar enough with them to know.
Again, on origin i am only making a somewhat educated guess, but i could be Jawa Solo. Anyone else wanna take a shot?
