where this one came from?

[A. G. Maisey]

David, the word "slorok" can have a number of meanings, it can mean something that slides over something else, or it can mean a drawer, but when we apply it to a keris blade, we are talking about the core of the blade, the relationship being that the core is something that we have slid between the two billets of pamor material in the making of the blade.

There is another application with keris too, in some pendok there is a loose panel that slides down behind a filigreed panel in the front of the pendok, this loose backing panel is the slorok; in some other types of pendok it can be the major loose front panel that is the slorok.

Thanks Alan. That makes sense and is what i assumed was meant here. I am familiar with the other references you mention, but i just wanted some clarification on this one.

Thank You guys for your responses. I'm still confuse about its origin.
for this moment I just conclude this is not a javanese keris.
