From the tip to but excluding the pesi is exactly 18" measured straight down the center. So, not a keris corok? Or, not to most people?

Thats intriguing, I wonder what made my informant think of it as oversized? He saw a photo of it and knows the dimensions, perhaps something in the shape inspired him.

Does anyone have a keris that is in fact a corok that they would be willing to post? I would like to see one long enough to be worn like a sword, if its not too inconvenient.
Or, is the one Jean...

Good morning guys,
I believe the fellow who provided the information is from Java. I didn't want to pry, I don't know him that well.
So it's a descriptive but somewhat ironic term? It brings to...

Meaning of corok?

I have a rather long Bali keris, and it was recently described to me by a Facebook gentleman as a "keris corok". I look in vain on the web or in my (admittedly minute) library of keris books for this...

Just a little something amusing

In my normal life, I am an importer and roaster of premium coffees. I regularly buy this truly wonderful Balinese coffee, with fruity notes of melon and citrus and a remarkably high caffeine content....

Has anyone written a book about precolonial times? Something like Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa but with the islands of Indonesia as a back drop? Perhaps the national character, if there is such a thing...

Works of fiction/history?
